While directing I was reviewing hands and saw a number of big mix-ups with redbl. It's a key fraught with danger. I try to avoid using it if I can.
Here's a quick quiz.
1. What does redbl show in these auctions :-
a. 1-dbl-redbl b. 1-dbl-pass-pass-redbl c. 1-pass-pass-dbl-redbl d. 1-pass-2-dbl-redbl e. 1-pass-2-pass-pass-dbl-redbl
2. What does the final pass indicate in this auction (or is it forcing)?
a. 1-dbl-redbl-pass b. 1-dbl-redbl-1nt-pass c. 1-dbl-pass-pass-redbl-pass d. 1-pass-pass-dbl-redbl-pass e. 1-pass-2-dbl-redbl-3-pass
