If you think I was alluding to the possibility of you reopening with a double, and your side ending up doubled with fewer than 50% of the 40 points in the pack, and without a fit, you are absolutely correct. But never fear - you have forgotten the first rule in a crisis situation. There are always friendly opponents who are a few cards away from a cock-up.
