Unless I missed an inference in the auction it sounds like you bid your hand three times by 6D and partner didn't bid his at all. <br /><br />I would just play double of 3S as takeout. It's a more efficient use of bidding space because you can pass the double or bid something over it. A penalty double leaves some bidding sequences unused or rarely used. <br /><br />If you had a penalty double, partner might double for takeout so you can pass, otherwise you have to bid 3NT.Nigel Kearneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810873665345046994noreply@blogger.com
