Al Morehead warns against a double when opponents bid themselves into game. West’s take of four spades by double betrayed how South would play. With no misfit, West’s double cost 890 points as South, not West, forced the play to a doubled game. The bidding sequence and a wrong double reveal the risk of telegraphing the hand to declarer.
