----- ------ 1S Dbl*
4S* Dbl** P 6C
Dbl*** All pass
Dealer: East
Vul.: None
4S* = EW playing Precision
Dbl* = 13 RP or approximately like holding 18-19 hcps
Dbl** = I thought it was Responsive but it obviously wasn't
Dbl*** = Penalty
West leading : SA
First trick: SA/S2/SQ/C9*
The spade queen by East was suit preference, hearts are less likely to
be ruffed from his point of view and is stronger as a wake-up signal.
Well, to tell you the truth it was a friendly rubber game with not
much at stake and I thought partner's double was responsive but it is
still a beauty in my opinion.

Well, like they say - bad bridge has a beauty all its own...
It isn't clear, from the author's narrative how the RP point count
really helps here, since the jump to 6c was based on a
misunderstanding, but it is better to be lucky (lead of AS when the
lead of any other suit will beat the hand) than good.
The more interesting question to me is, assuming that the double of 4s
is for penalty, how many would double and how many bid 5c.
