- Well, having been shown both hands and told what's up, I may as well say that
- South, with no good call, should pass, North should protect with a double, and
- South, with fine defense, should make a penalty pass.

- Seriously, a good partnership must be highly sceptical of any opening bid,
- especially a preempt, made by an enterprising matchpoint player in third seat
- with favorable vulnerability. They must be prepared to risk this sort of
- auction.
