What should I Bid? - Best enquiry for December 2001

The best December submission came from Ken Dalley.

Comments:
Playing pairs with four card suit openings.

And David's Response:
Hi Ken,
Looks as though our redouble has made describing this hand very difficult. I like to play a response of 2C after a double as natural and forcing (this style is not mainstream in Australian bridge circles). Many players redouble as a matter of course when holding 10 plus points but in my view the redouble is best used to describe a hand with shortage in partner' suit, say a 4144 shape.
Given our choice of actions 3H looks best here. Partner will know we only have 3 hearts.

Best Wishes,

David Beauchamp

Ken Reports:
Four hearts fails on the hand due to a bad heart break. 3NT is lucky and will make as both club honours are on side.
