I don't know what to say about this. Topics like this make me think they should give you ratings based on imps/mps against other players.

 

I would be interested in the play though. I'd guess, won the club, ruff a club, heart to the A, ruff a second club, heart to the K, spade king playing low, now he has an inescapable diamond loser.

declarer ruffed two clubs and didn't realize that if he did THAT after pulling trump and played a spade to hand he only had 12 tricks and not 14.

Ya there really only is one line to go down in this hand. K spades, 2 club roughs, draw trump :P

 

Or maybe declarer ducked a club to rectify the count? Expert I tell ya.. expert.

I doubt highly that this was actually the worst, although the line has not yet been stated.

 

As an example, I have heard of a declarer cross-ruffing with high trumps (completely unnecessarily) to end up with the equivalent of 3 opposite 2, only to ultimately allow the opponents to take three tricks by cross-ruff with the 6-5-4 on a hand where the deal is laydown for 13 tricks.

 

I also know of a hand where a Defender had KJxxx in trumps behind the Ace-fifth in Declarer's hand, but took no trump tricks, despite dummy being used to ruff an early trick.
