I have no strong objection to the negative double, except that it will
get you to a minor. And this is matchpoints, where notrump scores best
(if you make it, and if playing from the wrong side isn't too
unsatisfactory). Speaking for me, and for the majority ...
BETHE: "One notrump. Right distribution, right pointcount. Maybe
partner has a spade honor."
WOOLSEY: "One notrump. This shows the value of the hand. The spade
holding produces a stopper most of the time, with partner's help.
There are too few diamonds for a negative double, and it will be too
hard to recover if we pass."
CARAVELLI: "One notrump. Not perfect, but then neither is double or
two hearts. I don't believe in passing when the next round won't be
any easier."
GERARD: "One notrump. Sometimes, the way to stay out of notrump
is to bid it early, then shy away if partner starts bidding out his
hand. In theory, only ace-doubleton in partner's hand gets us wrong-
sided. If I don't bid notrump, partner always turns up with jack-
third or queen-doubleton, and we end up discussing which of us should
have bid notrump. For your doctoral thesis, I suppose you could
double, but doesn't everyone bid notrump at the table?"
No, not everyone.
MORI: "Double. This leaves me well placed for the next round, since I
can bid two hearts over partner's two of a minor. Notrump would be
better from partner's side."
CARRUTHERS: "Double. Looks like a hand for suit play, doesn't it?"
MARTEL: "Double. I prefer not to bid notrump without a stopper when I
have a decent alternative. It is easy to double, then bid two hearts
(even over two clubs), which should show a decent hand."
HERON: "Double. An immediate one notrump could be right, but more
likely will be very wrong. The immediate raise to two hearts, with no
ruffing value, seems wrong on direction, though right on values.
Double can still get us to hearts, if partner bids diamonds, and will
right-side notrump if partner bids it, an important consideration at
matchpoints."
Speaking for that eccentric raise--
MILES: "Two hearts. It is better to limit my hand than to double,
which has a wide range of strength and might encourage partner to bid
a four-card diamond suit at a high level."
There was Editorial solidarity for doing nothing at all.
RUBENS: "Pass. A double would be unprepared, since I can't covert
diamonds to hearts."
KAPLAN: "Pass. I was brought up to believe that a cheerful, voluntary
notrump bid guarantees a stopper or two. I wasn't brought up on
negative doubles, but it seems to me that I should have four of each
suit I beg partner to bid--or real support for his suit, if I correct
to it. Why should I make a flawed notrump bid or negative double (or
an even more flawed raise) when I don't have to? This deal is not
going to be passed out at one spade."
RUBIN: "Pass. This isn't a dirty word."
