From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

I think anything except than 3♦ is very imaginative

3D. The second ever unanimous poll on these fora?

My partner already opened his 4+H with 10 points.
That's about it for our game chances.
3D scoring better than 3C-X? Doubt it.
I Double. Partner may cringe and scramble, but
this is highly likely our shot for a big score
with no game likely.
Some just to not be UNANIMOUS.

When partner bids 3S what will you do? 3C X is for takeout.

So what is the story? Why was this posted? 3D is 99% unanimous. Was it a UI situation?

When I was asked ive said that I think both 3D and X are ok, however most expert here (Montreal) bid 3D.
partner hand was

Kx
A very unlucky layout for 3D. Losing important imps in Philadelphia.
As long as responder is going to bid 4C with all 5/4,4/5 and 5/5 in the majors (wich is the best way to play IMO) I think doubling has a lot going for it.

Double isn't as crazy as most people make out. Over spade bids you bid Diamonds showing a flexible hand. It doesn't show a strong one suited hand, that's what a jump to 4D or 5D shows. If partner jumps to 4S then we know we want to play a game - maybe 5D isn't the game we want to play - but it's the one we are getting to.
I wouldn't double (I don't think it's quite strong enough), but I wouldn't be so fast in denouncing it.

X is poor given that the hand is not strong enough to bid Ds after a S response.

Of course double makes more sense if 4♦/3♣ is available to show 1 suited strong hand. But i am not quite sure this is available for everyone due to leaping michaels or similar variations.
But i agree that ruling out the DBL the way i did was overstatement/mistake/or whatever you want to call it.

Losing Imps to whom? If it is IMP Pairs, I doubt you lost IMPs to any pair in contention. In a K.O., if the other player bid something other than 3D you figure to beat that team anyway. Maybe it blew a short swiss match to an inferior team.

It may be that the 3♣ call was not chosen at all tables.
