I believe that the USA currently hold only the World Championship For People Who Still Bid Like Your Auntie Gladys - dburn
dunno how to play 4 card majors - JLOGIC
True but I know Standard American and what better reason could I have for playing Precision? - Hideous Hog

Hmmm....I would just bid 2♠ with that. IMO a double jump should show longer ♠ and fewer points, K at most outside.
KQTxxx(x) xx xx(x) Kx, but more likely QJTxxxx xx Qx xx.

That would be 2♠ for me. Preemptive raise with 6 spades and few points (something like lower range of 2S opening).

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

2 schools of thought here. Mainstream is a weakish hand with long spades. A method commonly advanced on these forums is for it to be invitational and 5+ spades, thus making an immediate 2S show precisely 4 (or a weak 5 that is being treated as 4).

What does 3S show ?
What does 3S show ?
1S = 0-7 and 4 spades, 0-4 and 5 spades
2S = 8-10 and 4 spades, 5-7 and 5 spades
3S = 8-10 and 5 spades, 5-7 and 6 spades (with 4 spades and 11+ you bid 2H)
4S = 10-12 and 5 spades, 8-10 and 6 spades
MORE OR LESS

Not great fan of the dbl...but if partner would open 2S would you go?

I wouldnt - I dont have anything more than I promised, Q♠ is wasted, give partner something like AJxxxx,xx,Qxx,xx.

I would. The hand has aces and the rest of the HCP are all in the correct places. It's close, but when in doubt one must bid these games.

I would not have doubled. Now partner will be missevaluating his heart holdings and diamond holdings so its just a guess.

How did you make 12? You need to pull 3 trumps and ruff 2 diamonds. Those are mutually exclusive
Nevermind.. dummy reversal lol. Play >> bidding eheh.

Yes, I agree with this.
