Cuebid Double (Shadow Double) - An alternative to Responsive Double,
the Cuebid Double used to
convey the meaning that Right Hand Opponent has "stole" the player's
intended cuebid.

Meaning |
| (1D) - 1H - (2D) - X |
Playing Responsive Doubles, a Double
here would promise length in the black suits. A more likely
competitive scenario would be for the Advancer to have trump support for
partner (since opponent's have support). Playing Cuebid Doubles,
Advancer shows an invitational hand with 10+ points and 3+ Hearts.
|
| (1D) - 1H - (2D) - 2H |
Playing Cuebid Doubles, a
direct raise to 2H would simply be competitive showing 6-9
points. |
| (1D) -
1H - (2D) - 3H |
Regardless of treatment,
most players consider a jump raise in a competitive auction as
preemptive. |
