I'm confused.
How can we "double and bid a suit" to show a slam try?
Given we passed over 1S, how can we have a natural invite to 6NT?



I think he meant doubling and then bidding a suit shows the suit bid and the other suit that pd didnt bid and a slamish hand because he has other ways to show 2 suiters with hands that are not interested in slam.

I agree that there is no hand that would want to invite to slam NT when already passed over 1♠, which also doesnt wanna convert this DBL.

OP's partner was GIB, and it uses stolen bid doubles obviously. Clearly Michaels.

Pls move this thread to Suggestions for the Software.

Sorry, I was thinking about the more general case: (1♠) - X - (3♠) - ? . After all, what else can double and pull mean? With a GOSH we are going to bid the suit directly so that only leaves conversion-type hands. And most of those without slam interest are just going to bid their best suit.
