Weekly Hand Analysis - Rich Nordeng - November 27, 2023 - Take out double


 Question

E bids a T/O double, should W have bid something?

Rich:

A good case can be made for West to bid 1 spade over South’s 1 NT. The ten of S and the fifth S are pluses opposite a partner who made a T.O. Dbl of hearts, thus strongly inviting spades. In my opinion 1NT by E is better than double (16 hcp , flat distribution and H doubly stopped ). Over East’s 1NT W should compete to 2 spades.
