Negative Doubles Breakdown – No Major Bid: (Part 3 of 11) Doubling Versus Bidding the Major

When a major has been bid, the difference between doubling and bidding the major is the length of the unbid major. When a major has not been bid, the difference between doubling and bidding the major is not about length. It’s whether we have both or only one. Both bids (in the negative double where a major has not been bid) show four or more cards. Doubling versus bidding a major just tells opener whether we have both or only one.
