Awesome content! Appreciate you taking your time explaining and playing. Helpful :D I do not recognize that double however, (4-4major). As I believe with the current partner I play with. We use it as a negative double. Shortness in opponents suit, 6+p and support for unbid suits. If it would go 1c--1h xneg would be spades, and vice versa. It probably makes sense that it's 4-4 as you can bid 1h with 4hearts and 1s with 4spades. Nice, I also agree with the Law. respect the level of the fit, don't raise more than the law, and especially not in unfavorable vulnerability
Hiya, Thanks for your comment, always appreciate feedback especially when it's positive! Yes, a double by responder is known as a negative double as you correctly describe. The double mentioned in the video is actually a special variant of a negative double where the responder can show both majors at once. If you are interested in learning more about negative doubles and the special variants of them I have written an article here: www.allthingsbridge.co.uk/negative-doubles-article/ and recorded a video lesson here: www.allthingsbridge.co.uk/negative-doubles/ Oh and yes the level of the fit is always to be observed and respected! All the best, Dom
