DEPO - An
acronym
Double Even, Pass Odd, used to indicate Aces or
keycards when an opponent has interfered with a slam-asking sequence as
Gerber or Blackwood. DEPO is more frequently used at the 6-level to show Kings;
while DEPO has less accuracy than DOPI since it only
show a specific count, DEPO takes up less of the valuable bidding space.
