Pre-emptive bids are practically a thing of the past in-contract. It is seldom that a pre-emptive bid will pay. It is true you can build up a hand or two on which you may win with a pre-emptive hid, but you are losing a great deal more on this type of bidding than you will ever gain on the two or three hands per year. Take for example the following hand which came up in a.recent tournament.

West doubled. This is a nega- tive double and as he has doubled hearts, he tells his partner that he would like him to show à four card spade sult if he holds it. However, if spades, is not East's sult, then on the next round West must be prepared to overcall with his own suit.
For example, in this case, if West did not have a spade and held only clubs, before he made the negative double he would have to consider that partner might re- spond with two diamonds which would then force him to bid three clubs; therefore, if he is not pre- pared to play the hand at three clubs, he should not make a nega-. tive double.
After the negative double North passed and East bid four spades. This is not a pre-emptive bid-it is definitely a slam try. The nega- tive double has told him that West is undoubtedly prepared to play it at spades and his bid of four apades says, "Partner if you are prepared to play this hand at spades and have any reserve strength, we have a slam."
West should not hesitate in go. ing to six spades. He should not bld only five because thon East will pass he must go all the way and bid six.
Six spades, of course, is a lay down.
