This player (xxxxxx) heard his partner open 1d followed by a 2c over call.

He now responded 7 diamonds. Diamond K onside, pard has stiff heart and Kxx ruffs out. It is my practice to never mention player names, but he defended the bid citing losing trick count. He further claimed that he has won hundreds of tournaments bidding this way. How say you panel members.

It is my practice to never mention player names

It is my practice to call out liars. Accusing someone of cheating in a public forum, even implicitely, is arguably as bad as cheating itself. And then to say that you never mention people by name...

I wouldn't get too worked up over this. Three hands later the same person opens 2S on:

 

109432 74 J743 108. The opponents then bid to 3N and his partner now doubles. Making of course. Lose 7.

 

The next hand, holding AKQ98532 Kx void Axx.

 

he has this auction:

 

p p (1H) 6.

 

Down one. Lose 12.

 

It really appears to be the bidding of a madman, and nothing more.

 

I seriously doubt he has won hundreds of tournaments this way.

Reminds me of a Gold Cup match in a previous millennium. The bidding was (_P_) _P_ (1) 6 N all pass. Dummy came down with A. After a struggle, I arrived at 12 tricks. A puzzled opponent asked partner "With an ace, why didn't you bid the grand?" "We play weak jumo overcalls" he explained :)
