Comments: Fairly standard two over one forcing to game style.
RHO is obviously playing a game with us, which he is winning.... :) And
David's Response: Hi Josh, I reckon double looks right. Double will
tell partner that you have a strong hand. Partner can make a decision whether
to defend or to bid at the five level. Your opponent may be playing games but
both you and your partner have managed to get in an informative bid which may
not have happened at other tables. Looks as though right hand opponent has a two
suited hand and did not want to preempt his partner. All the best,
David
