There are three things wrong 1) Your partner shouldn't get angry! If he had asked you why you had bid 6C he would have discovered that: 2) You and he have different ideas about the strength shown by a reverse. You were expecting a much stronger hand; he thinks a reasonable, distributional hand is enough. But ... 3) Your jump to 6C was precipitious, if partners hand is S KQ H D AKJTx C KJTxxx then he definitely has hid bids, but 6C is still down. I would have supported clubs on the previous round (not bid NT without a stopper in Spades), but on the auction you had, I would have bid 4C, not 6C, to give partner a chance to cue-bid to slam or bail out in game Eric
