I felt rather unlucky here with 0%

Hoping to claim that not all my 0s are misjudgement or error - maybe the stats show it is - can David run an analysis please - EDIT just ran one which backs up the Pass as better option

Note - interested to read on the Bridgebum that you need 5 major - GiB 2/1 Cappelletti only asks for 4

I do feel it was rather lucky to make 10 tricks

Maybe it was designed for rubber bridge and not duplicate

South intervenes vulnerable with a terrible agreement and pays the price.

What are the right times to use Cappelletti

3rd seat favourable or 3rd seat unfavorable

Or not at all

If you aren't going to get them down 2 tricks are you likely to score positive anywy

If we were unfavourable it would have scored better. Almost a top. Sorry if they were white

Maybe a double instead

The idea with competing against any 1NT opening with a conventional bid is having some distribution in your hand, not competing when balanced with a 4432 hand. Capp should show at least 54xx or better distribution with the suits, with emphasis on the longer suit being the major when overcalling 2♥ or 2♠. So technically, with 4M4m you should not use Capp. The danger with any overcall of 1NT, even a weak NT opening, is that the opener is quite limited in shape and range, so it is easier for his partner to judge penalising you should you end up in a bad contract by using Capp, Landy, DONT or any of the other of the defenses to 1NT.
