Opening Lead: ♠Q
East, with 11 HCP and 1 length point opens the bidding. South has a perfect takeout
double: 15 HCP and
protection in all the unbid suits.
West passes. North
JUMPS to 2♥ to show 9+ points and four hearts. North is saying, “Yes, you
made me bid, but I have some ‘stuff’”. South has no problem jumping to 4♥. North will lose 2 spade tricks
and 1 diamond trick, making four.
The point is that South had a perfect hand for the takeout
double, and North had enough points to jump to show 9+ points.
