After a Support Double
In auctions where the Opener makes a support Double, showing 3-card support for Responder's Major suit, the Responder is often forced to make a rebid. We need to have good agreements with partner about the meaning of these bids. Let's take a look at these situations in detail.

Responder’s Rebids: After Making a Negative Double
(set 6 of 9)

After Making a Negative Double
Doubles are integral parts of bridge because they are flexible bids. We can use doubles in a variety of situations where no other bid is appropriate. A negative double is one of these flexible bids - when partner has bid and the opponent has interfered, our negative double says "partner, I want to be part of this auction but I don't have a more appropriate action right now." Let's look at some of the ways we can use a negative double.

After Our Freebid
As Responder, when we freely bid a new suit, it is forcing for at least one round (in traditional auctions). We usually have good agreements about this first round of the bidding. On the second round, we need to have good agreements about which bids are forcing and which are passable. Let's look at some of the ways we can use a negative double.
