1H X ?

doubler was Heather Dhondy. After the hand both Jeremy and Heather agreed I should have bid 1S.

If I get this hand again I am passing. Danny Roth reckons pass is a good bid with this kind of hand and I am tending to agree with him!

The disaster continued as follows -

1H X 1S P; 2D (of course) P ?

How much do you hate your 1S bid now?

I got out with 2H undoubled minus 2 for a loss of 7 IMPs here - I'd hoped H might have 6 Hearts (it is possible in our system) I also knew I was on to an (at best 5-2 Spade fit, conceivably 5-0).
