Double for Less in CVData?

Is it possible to program CVData to sim doubling for less on certain hands at certain counts?

I was thinking about using double for less as camo. I sometimes will double A v. A, or 10 v. (10 or A) at low counts as a cover play -- as described in "Burning the Tables." This has a cost, of course, and would have less of a cost if I doubled for less.

I am also wondering if there are certain BS plays where doubling for less might have an equivalent or slightly improved expectation over the BS play. 9 v 2 or 7 come to mind.

No. It is in CVBJ for practice. You can specify which hands you partial double and you will be tested. I haven't bothered to add it to CVData as it should only be used rarely for effect, making little difference to results.

I wouldn't use it for a hand like 10 v 10. More likely 12 v 10, a hand you are likely to lose and want to look ridiculous playing. And only if you thought you were being watched by surveillance.
