THE BEST BID
by Ely CulbertZON.
If a vulnerable player decides to lovercall an Opening Pre-emptive. bid, he should slop, look and listen and make the best call available rather than the worst; otherwise, the price he is apt to pay for his foolishness may be simply stupend-

line, but for North to make an Over- call in any suit with his holding is the sheerest kind of leap in the dark. If he bids five clubs, for instance, and an opponent doubles, is he then to bid five diamonds, and if that also is doubled, bid five hearts? That way, of course, lies disaster. But let me give the hand.
