Specifically, the short-suit type or psychic used by south in the following case is the most danger- ous type - but it had remarkable success this time! South dealer. East-West vulnerable.

At one table, how- ever, the auction was quite a. bit different - to wit: . u-an l south West North llut 1; (E) 20 80 ' Pill Pass (E) Pass jj Ordinarily, of course, it is un- thinkable for a player to leave his partner in a cue-bid. but South garnered top-on-the-board by doing just that. North was held to three tricks, for down Ilx, but the 300 points going to East- West compared very unfavourably with what they should have earned at their own contract. There are two points of interest in this case, aside from South's original psychic. The first is that South surmised - undoubtedly cor- rectly - that even if North had such a powerful hand that he could make game. there would nevertheless be little virtue in hold- ing the bidding open. because North would then almost surely bid over game. The second point is that East was rather gullible! If his partner could make a vulnerable overcnll at the two-level. and North hid the strength for a cue-bid, then, considering East's own substantial values. South must have psyched. That being so, it would have been a very good idea for East to double diamonds. Veneziiela, oil-producing stats in HEADS L19. DESMOND! man: we GOES! DON'T uuaav up, vou LAlY SWINE 1-. ,.
