Disappointing Outcome


5th October – Board 11. Love All. Dealer South.
If your opponents never make a doubled contract you’re not doubling enough so they say. Nevertheless it can be extremely frustrating.

South is worth bidding game with his two bullets but as far as West is concerned it might be a big bluff and a double from that direction looks obvious. Be that as it may 5C is laydown and in fact it’s E/W who should be sacrificing.
