"POKER" DOUBLES It is extremely dltticult - in- deed. oiteiitimes impossible - to evaluate a. hand precisely for a penalty double. A great many im- ponderables must be taken into account. How sound a bidder is the player you're thinking of doubling? What is your partner's philosophy on this subject - will he leave in your double. no matter what he has, or does he go in tor "co- operation"? How about the op- ponent's partner - is he tho type to take fright and "run" - to a world bid?

From all this it will be seen that there is quita a lot, of "poker" in the decision to double or not

From the point where West mad: his very aggressive double of one spade, South and North indulged in a. frantic effort to iind a bet- ter contract -- and with the usual result!

By any academic measurs, West it as on the most dubious ground nilcll lie doubled the spade bid, but, as a master player. he realiz- ed something that most players do not even consider. West knew that his right hand opponent, who had passed originally. was not apt to have such a safe spade over- call that he could stand fast in the face oi at prompt. and contident double; that South, or his partner, might well launch rescue opera- tions the moment the double took place.

Obviously, South did have rea- son to tear the double, with his anemic spade suit. and the rest or the auctinii want in accordance with West's hopes.

So, East-West. collected 500 points when they could not have logical- ly bid game or made it.
