The 3♥ bid is ludicrous I know, but please don't take this personally because my comments on this forum are designed to be constructive, not critical, but I don't see any value in doubling a second time on your hand. It's got a potentially duff doubleton in the opponents suit, and the opponents have bid the anchor suit ♠s. East has already stated extra values by bidding 2♠ so that leaves your partner with not a lot. Partner didn't show any preference for ♥s on the first round of bidding, so why force him now?
thanks The_Badger. I once read before winning the Flight C GNT that matches are won on partgames. Communicated thus to all members of our team and we all concentrated on competing for and bringing home part games. I see the same on Vugraph at the top level. Those 3 IMP/5 IMP gains add up. Hence I want to compete and bid 3C except I show 6+C per blurb. Hence the double instead of a simple 3C.
