Playing South in a Butler scoring pairs competition of supposedly high standard I deal myself
the following collection:
Both sides are vulnerable and I am last to speak. West, on my left, opens 2
to show a weak
hand with exactly five Hearts together with a minor. This particular toy has become quite
popular recently (under the name of "Lucas Twos") and can certainly cause the opponents a
headache or two. Anyway, partner Doubles 2
(for take-out, of course)
and my right hand
opponent raises the barrage with 3
.
Do I have enough to bid? What are the choices? 3
, 4
and Pass are all I can think of.
