    This week's deal is from Poland versus Tunisia match and features Cezary Balicki of Poland. Balicki was sitting North on this deal.

    Tunisian West opened strong 1 C. The reply from East was negative D. West's 2 H showed 20-21 hcp & 5 card suit and West chose to bid 3 NT over his partner's 2 NT.Balicki now doubled with North's cards.

    The contract went 3 down on C Queen lead. Actually contract was 2 down but declarer revoked giving an extra trick to defence.

    How many would double with 4 hcp when opponents bidding does not look like an overbid ?
