Acol Bidding
The opposition make a
weak 2 spade bid (showing 6-10 HCP plus 6 spade cards . you must overcall - showing a good suit and opening hand points. If you make a takeout double in this situation you are promising at least 3 cards in each of the the unbid suits, and you do not have 3 cards in your heart suit. All Pass
One loser in spades, 1 in hearts none in diamonds and 1-2 in clubs. Draw trumps as quickly as possible as with at least 2 six card suits out (Easts's spades and your clubs) there is likely to be some ruffing by the opposition if you dont.
. Ruff the second return of spades noting that your JS in Dummy is now a high card. Play your diamonds and the JS discarding the losing heart in your hand - the rest of the tricks are yours.
If you make a takeout double your partner bids 3H and you only have a singleton, so you need you will take partner out by bidding 4C. If trumps are split 4-2 you will lose one more trick
