Question and Answer #25
From Peggy Shuping

My RHO opens a preemptive 4. I have been taught that a double by me is for penalty and 4NT is a takeout double. What bids are used today to differentiate between penalty and takeout over such an opening? Example: I held:


A Q x x x
A x x
A K Q x x

I bid 4NT, and she bid 5 with 4-4 in hearts and diamonds and
10 points. I passed and we made 7. Should partner have jumped
with her 10 HCP to 6?
