Should I "take out" a double, using a two card suit?
With xxx xx Jxxx Jxxx, the decision between 1S and 2C is very close. Any move that makes spades less attractive (eg holding only a doubleton) or clubs more attractive (eg a 5-card suit) breaks the &quot;tie&quot; in favor of 2C. Any of those three hands would be a clear 2C call for me.
