If opener has a good hand he cannot pass and he does not always have a natural auction at his disposal. As in many competitive situations, the Double shows that his side is on offense. Opener can of course pass for penalties. The same principle applies seen from the responder\u2019s side: he can pass in the pass-out position in a 9-10HCP zone but must bid if he has 11+HCP (a balancing Double is take-out; the opener\u2019s side is in an offensive position.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example 1:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/responses-to-the-opening-after-an-intervention-with-a-two-suiter-2-1024x826.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52283\" width=\"512\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/responses-to-the-opening-after-an-intervention-with-a-two-suiter-2-1024x826.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/responses-to-the-opening-after-an-intervention-with-a-two-suiter-2-300x242.jpg 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/responses-to-the-opening-after-an-intervention-with-a-two-suiter-2-768x620.jpg 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/responses-to-the-opening-after-an-intervention-with-a-two-suiter-2-1536x1239.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/responses-to-the-opening-after-an-intervention-with-a-two-suiter-2-2048x1653.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption>You are sitting West.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In a recent teams match, West unaware of this principle bid on to 3&#x2660;&#xfe0f;
