Doubles of artificial bids often ask for that suit to be led, but sometimes a double helps the opponents. Here we look at Anti-Lead Directing Doubles, when they apply, and how they are an improvement.
When we open a NT and partner uses an artificial conventional responses, like Stayman or Transfers, then the opponents might double as lead directing. We want to use this double against them. Here we discuss our options for bidding after this double.
When we open the bidding with NT one of partners favorite bidding tools is the Jacoby Transfer. When partner transfers to a major suit and we have an excellent fit we have to decide about super-accepting. Here we look at our options for what to do and how to use our judgment about doing so.
