Weekly Hand Analysis - Glenna Shannahan - March 8, 2021 - Penalty Double on first bid?

 


Question: Is a Penalty Double in order on the first bid for West?

Glenna:

  In 4th seat, a double would be taken as take out—partner please bid one of the other 3 suits. Since you really can’t make a TOX (take out double) or bid a suit of your own, you must pass and hope for the best. Sometimes you will hear someone say that they had to make a “trap pass” and this hand illustrates the concept.

Hope this helps,

Glenna
