it was the last board, matchpoints, but not that it would have mattered

the score was not well, because of a bidding misunderstanding and a costly defensive error

the hand did not have many "points", but it had 5 quick tricks and one of those where the books say is good either for offense or defense

partner is on the conservative side, so, i bid 4 spades.



we made 1 spade, 2 hearts, one diamond,four clubs as we dinked declarer.

down 6, 1400

the five level sir, belongs to the opponent

Please fix your typos! (probably the auction)

That looks like the bidding from a pick-up partner a few days ago. If he had 12+ hcp, he felt it a moral obligation to compete to the 4 level, no matter how many times I passed. I had never seen so many penalty doubles coming my way.
