Boadr 9. Partner has 5+ clubs. We know he has at most 1 spade and 4 hearts unless East bid 1S on KQTx, which is highly unlikely. So we know partner has 8+ minor suit cards. If he has 2-4-4-4 shape, he opens 1D, therefore he must have at least 5 clubs. With that in mind, 3C is probably best unless you want to try do double 2S. I don't like the double of 2S because the opponents could easily have a double fit and be cold Even so, I'd rather double 2S than pass. NOTE: I have not seen the actions taken by Eli yet.
LOL. Partner ran. In this case, probably for the best. Again, I have not seen more thus far. Now I see the North hand and have no idea why he pulled the double. Maybe this si s stupid robot idea. Bidding NT and doubling here should be penalty even if your general style is for doubles in competition to be takeout.
