Yes, you are absolutely correct that, in theory at least, there are four categories. And I have been tempted to base the triggers (rules) on those four. But it does make it significantly more complex. Which buckets can you skip or do you have to visit each in turn (obviously that can't be right). I will give that scheme some more thought.Phasmidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870140728729031615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181380552290465298.post-24165022245933100022017-01-14T10:21:33.140-05:002017-01-14T10:21:33.140-05:00I generally agree with this, but I find the termin...I generally agree with this, but I find the terminology to be a bit confusing. Couldn't every non-conventional double simply be put into one of four categories?<br />* takeout (though convertible to penalty)<br />* takeout-oriented (often called DSI)<br />* penalty-oriented (can pull with undisclosed shape - these are what I guess you are calling cooperative)<br />* penalty (you had better not pull this!)<br /><br />I definitely think you are onto something by clarifying which hands belong into which buckets and I wish I was able to get my partners to think in these terms.Slarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473385549812836620noreply@blogger.com
