Weekly Hand Analysis - Glenna Shannahan - September 25, 2023- Responding to Double


Question:  Even though N had no points, should N had responded to S's double or does that not apply when the opponent opens with 1NT?

Glenna:

Partner MUST respond to the take out double (TOX)!!!!!!!!!! The weaker you are, the more important it is for you to bid. Partner put his neck out there to X, so you must cooperate. Just bid your lowest suit at the lowest level so on this hand bid 2 ♣️! This promises nothing!!! It also shows nothing but at least E is not making his contract. Respond cheaply with bad hands, bid at the 2-level 

With 8 or more points and at the 3-level with 11 or more points.
