If clubs are 3-5 then west will hold both honors or east will have a stiff honor 33% of the time and the clubs will not run. If clubs are 2-6 then east will have both honors 36% of the time and the clubs won't run 64% of the time. 5 card suits appear in about 48.4% of the hands (I doubled the % for the 55s) and 6 card suits in 13.8%. The weighted chance of the clubs not running is about 40%.
An interesting situation arises when east has a stiff ♦ honor and 5♣s and you lead towards the ♦J. With ♦Hxxxx will west fly?

Mike

I don't understand any of this. Where do these odds take into account the values required of East by reason of his double?
