There are few opponents who
would not shudder at taking such a cube, and yet
Snowie makes this a no double/take.
In the event, I doubled and Sonia/Simon passed.
Emmeline asked me what I thought their decision
would be while the issue was still being
debated. My response was: "I don't care,
let them worry about it."
The point being; pile the pressure on your
opponents, many times the threat may be
perceived as being greater than it is. This is
an element of the game which Snowie cannot teach
you.
