Remember that partner may not have four spades. You just cannot wait until you have the perfect two four-card majors before doubling 1♦-(2♣).

Please never explain anything as ‘standard’. Standard is that there no standard is.

One of the worst defenses is to play 1♠ as ‘any thirteen cards’ (apart from whether it is legal).

That, and pass is usually nothing to add, occasionally any strong hand.

It feels less than logical to bid now when 1♠ could have been passed out; however, the reason we did not bid earlier was not so much that our hand was not good enough, but we did not have a suitable bid.

Pips on upper left hand corner, in non-English decks

This is exactly why I am an ardent proponent of always and everywhere using AKQJ10 pips (I also hate T for 10).

Note above that the V is a queen in The Netherlands, a jack in France. Just imagine what bridge would be like if ♥ were hearts in The Netherlands, diamonds in France.

Ample bids to show better raises (like 2NT limit+, 3♥ mixed raise), so 3♠ should show about this hand.

2♥. It does not pay to try for around 24 HCP games after a mini notrump (which I play myself).

He never pointed out whether he was actually playing an ACBL tournament.

Was this specifically an ACBL game? If not, why would ACBL rules apply?
