IMP's

---

(1H is Walsh; DBL is support)
You have following options:
- Bid
- Absolute DBL: Tells you partner that you wanted to bid 5H, but asks her opinion. She can pass with a defensive hand.
- Pass: asks partner to DBL for penalty Or bid with a very offensive hand.
BTW: If you bid, what is 5C then?

I'd use blackwood, 5♣ is simply a cuebid IMO

EDIT: I misscounted keycards, can't afford a 5♠ response, so 5♣ is my bid.

So you think the hand is too offensive to DBL? DBL also show an offensive hand and suggests partner to bid 5H.

I think that it is wrong to play these methods here, pass should be NF.

Anyway, I double.

Wa-a-ay too quick to support double with 6x solid clubs.
Show big suit then support with H:xxx.
Now I just gotta repeat "I have an opener".

what's so absolute about this double? seems like it's relatively far from being absolute.

That is how we refer to this DBL.
(We picked this up from another pair. I don't know if the gave the name or if it is more widely use.
But you are right: it is not really absolute)

[Fluffy]

Too offensive to double IMO yes, and I wanna have a shot at slam.

5♣, whatever it may mean

[kgr]

I don't know the other hands of this one. Only that North had a void in ♣. That she would have passed an invite with an absolute DBL.
Both 4♠ and 5♥ were down.
(I did bid 5♥)

How do you bid if you want to defend 4♠ undoubled?

[han]

I know it as pass-double inversion.
