Introducing the Take Out Double
Responding to a Take Out Double with an Opening Hand
Take Out Double -- Responding when the Opponents Bid and you have a Weakish hand
Take Out Double -- Responding when the Opponents Bid and you have an Intermediate Strength Hand
Responding to a Take Out Double with a Six Card Major
Take Out Double -- Responding when the Opponents Bid and you have their Suit!
Responding to a Take Out Double when RHO bids:
| HCP | Bid |
| 0-5 | Pass |
| 6-8 | Bid your LONGEST suit at the lowest level as long as it is not the 3 level |
| 9-11 or Bad 12 | Jump and bid your LONGEST suit as long as that means you are not bidding at the 4 level. If by jumping you would have to bid at the 4 level then bid but do not jump. In other words just compete at the 3 level. |
| Good 6 card major | Bid game in the major. |
| Good 12 or 13 or more | Bid game in your major. |
| Good hand with the suit RHO bid | Double |
So with that in mind what do you respond with each of these hands when your LHO opens the bidding 1♣, Partner says "Double" and your RHO bids 1♥?
