Your call should be DIRECTOR!!!! However, since you found a small something on the floor when he came, you better do something else. Actually, Rob's suggestion that the call be "pass???..." rather than a normal "pass" has merit. It will certainly get the top result. It will also get you shot. At IMPS, double is the standout. Anything else is wrong, even if it works. At Match Points, who knows? I think knowledge of your partner and opponents is essential. One point to consider. You probably will only beat them 500 if distribution is unkind. Even 700 might not be enough. I don't know the answer. I only posed it to see other's ideas and powers of observation. (Yes, 12 cards was deliberate.)
