Responsive Doubles

 

After partner doubles and the RHO raises LHO's suit, a responsive double would show:

over a major raise 4-4 in the minors

over a minor raise 4-4 in the majors

Examples:

Opp Part Opp You

1H double 2H Double = shows 4-4 in the minors

2S = shows 4+ spades

3C/3D = shows 4+ suit

1C double 2C double = shows 4-4 in the majors

2D = shows 4+ diamonds

2H/2S = shows 4+ suit

Some also play responsive doubles over 1NT by RHO.

1H double 1NT double = 4-4 in the minors

Also, some play responsive doubles when partner overcalls and RHO raises LHO, except this shows the other two suits.

1H 1S 2H double = 4-4 in diamonds and clubs

or

1D 1S 1NT double = 4-4 in hearts and clubs
