On BWTA there is the extra point that EW might have game available in a major (as today) but will struggle to bid it over 3N. After 1N (P) 2N showing D’s, West might have double as a way of showing the majors (or 3D perhaps) at a much safer level. Also, from the oppo’s viewpoint, they don;t know the hand isn;t balanced or semi-pbalanced.

HI Barry, Folks,
On BWTA there is the extra point that EW might have game available in a major (as today) but will struggle to bid it over 3N. After 1N (P) 2N showing D’s, West might have double as a way of showing the majors (or 3D perhaps) at a much safer level. Also, from the oppo’s viewpoint, they don;t know the hand isn;t balanced or semi-pbalanced.
