When Your Partner Doubles
for Penalties


If your partner doubles an opponent
for penalty when you have made
no bid, it is not necessary for you
to become excited and feel that you
should take action because your hand
happens to be a bust. Unless you
have made voluntary bid your part
ner has no right to count on you In
any capacity, and his double, if sound,
should be based not on trick expec
tation from your hand but on 2 set
ting tricks in his own. Do not con-
slider taking your partner out of his
penalty double unless you have some
bizarre distribution which strongly In
dicates that his double will fail.
When your partner doubles after
YOU have made bid, or assisted him,
do not interfere unless you have good
reason to believe that he is counting
on trick or tricks which your hand
will fail to furnish. For example, If
YOU have made deceptive bid, or II
you have previously assisted your
partners suit on Institutional values
alone and hold five or more Of his
trumps with no outside honor-tricks.
In such cases it is usually advisable
to take-out your partners penalty
double. But it is not necessary to
take your partner out of a double
which he has made after you have
opened with pre-emptive bid. If he
understands your bid he is already
warned Of your lack in defensive
tricks, and his subsequent double tells
YOU that he Is independent of your
assistance.
Quite often it happens that you
find yourself in the delightful posi-
ton of having a choice between a
safe penalty double and sure game
bid of your own. When each of these
alternatives appears to be certain OF
success, the one which will net you
the greater number Of points should be
chosen.
