Don't Bid for Partner.
TINE informatory double. while
one of the most useful, is also
one Of the most abused con-
- ventions In contract bidding.
It should be used to inform partners
that the doubler holds such a power

nents having opened the bidding, ne
can still see distinct game possibilities
with but little support IN partners

It follows logically that, having
once doubled informatorily, player
should not rebid too strongly, but
rather rely on partner for a light
raise to game. For example, an in
formatory double, followed by a rebid
to within one trick of game, must be
construed as the strongest kind OF
game invitation, If partner holds but
