When Your Hand is Too Good for a Simple Overcall - with Curt Soloff
Mar 04, 2025 2:31 pm
Hi ,
When your partner makes what appears to be a standard takeout double but then corrects the suit you choose to a different suit, the doubler is showing a strong (often one-suited) type of hand - a hand too good for a simple overcall.
Doubling and bidding a new suit is not forcing, but it is *highly* encouraging. Should you continue bidding with a very weak hand if there is a fit? This is the problem we address in the video.
What would you bid now? Leave an answer with your reasoning: https://youtu.be/fnf_U6hFGes
Thank you Curt and Antara for sharing this interesting hand!
Keep learning with Curt!
