55% Rebate, ver 33

I have to assume that X by North over 2D would have been penalties.

I suppose that on another day I might regret not having a penalty double available as North over 2D, but I would prefer it as takeout.

East doubling 2H with a 10 card diamond fit rather relies on N/S not knowing their system. I should have known GIB better by now and pulled to 2S. Then East would be regretting his greed.

Ho Hum, -500 still got 64%.

How did it score 64%? There is no game EW. People in even more ridiculous spots doubled?

Well the auction was fairly popular. There may have been some scope in the card play.
