The little Transfer bid that got supported and rose higher

 Yesterday morning out in North Dublin near the sea I spotted some folk playing a bridge hand 

West opened weak NT 12-14 

East did a transfer bid to SPADES

Nasty South bid 3H just to be awkward 

For some reason West decided to go further in SPADES despite only having TWO ..

Passed around to SOUTH who figured double might work 

Passed back to East who figured maybe if I bid 4S they won't double me next time

...........

That was 1400 later ... Lucky it was only 1 matchpoint board as opposed to 50 cent a 100 

Strangely enough the minus 1400 pair won the event with a 68% score 

You would think a pair who run from 3S doubled into 4S doubled might not be so good 

...................

Its not good to raise a transfer bid unless you got 3 or 4 card support ... 

And if the transfer bid is doubled ..you don't complete it unless you got 3 or more trumps 

So with a Doubleton you PASS
