Then your only real blame is playing with this partner, or not buying him a book on hand evaluation for Christmas.
To be fair to my partner, he usually doesn't bid this badly (this was one of only about 3 or 4 bad boards this night and at least one of the others was all or almost all my fault). I agree he could do with working a bit more on his hand evaluation though.
