Two psyche positions
There are two well-known psyche positions in modern bridge bidding:
- after a take-out double, for example: 1♣ - DBL - 1♠!
- after a preempt, for example: 3♣ - pass - 3♠!
- after a take-out double by partner, if the player in 3rd position announces a new suit, double is for penalty and even more, bidding that suit it's natural:
- (1♣) - DBL - (1♠) - DBL = penalty proposal, with four plus spades. A common confusion here is to think it's a responsive double. A double is responsive only when RHO (right hand opponent) raises the opening.
- (1♣) - DBL - (1♠) - 2♠ = natural, non-forcing, with 5 spades (7-10 HCP)
- (1♣) - DBL - (1♠) - DBL = penalty proposal, with four plus spades. A common confusion here is to think it's a responsive double. A double is responsive only when RHO (right hand opponent) raises the opening.
- after a preempt, double in 4th position is takeout to preemptor suit:
(3♣) - pass - (3♠) - DBL = take-out to clubs (i.e. promises 3-4 spades)
- from [1]:
(1♦) - DBL - (1♠) - P
(1N/2♣/2♦) - 2♠
In other words, partner doubles, then bid the responder suit. This is natural, a hand stronger than the direct overcall with 1♠ (GOSH in Robson terminology, good one suited hand). With other strong hands, partner may double again or cue-bid the first opener suit. - from [2]:
(3♣) - pass - (3♠) - double here is take-out to clubs and 4♠ is? Natural again, a good hand with spades.
