When I was West in this hand from a Bermuda
Bowl round-robin match, I passed it out. I like
to bid when it's close, but my only possible
call at this point is double, which is for takeout.
Sure, my partner could convert to penalty, but
he's not likely to do so with four spades. So we
defended 4, undoubled, and looked like saps,
as we defeated it three tricks for +150.
Meanwhile, we were cold for 3NT our way ...
except for one thing, you have to guess the
diamond king. And guess what? At the other
table where they reached 3NT, they didn't
guess the diamond king - down two.

We won 6 imps for just sitting there, and my tip
is this: You can't do two things with one call.
The delayed double is takeout, not general
strength. So if you don't have a takeout double,
grit your teeth and pass. It may work out OK.
