4. I’d like to think that in real life we would know what the double meant. I’ll assume values rather than penalty, in which case 4looks the easiest game.

Dennis Bilde (DEN) WIM: 4

I would bid 4. I don’t play this double as penalty but I know
that someone does. If I play it as penalty I would think to pass or bid 4
and both are reasonable. I would prefer 4
