Both these posts read like hyperbole. I struggle to think of many hands where it really matters that much.
I find the biggest advantage of support doubles is in the defence (although of course this also helps declarer) because you immediately have information about partner's shape.


Edit: that was supposed to be a multi-quote of the previous two posts. Sorry.

I play support doubles and i apply them regardless of my strength. As Adam said if i have a weirdo hand i may skip to do so once every year or so.

However, i am not fan of SUPPORT RDBLS. The position between supp DBL and RDBL are totally different imo. I can explain these differences with a long post, but that will be hijacking this topic.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
