6N is freaking insane, but both players had already given the horse too much hay at that time.

I think with the exception of the double and 7♥ (and arguably 4♠ although it's close) every bid E/W made was an overbid. I won't try to allocate blame further since there is too much, but west would get more since he won the overbid battle 3 to 1 or 3 to 2.

I felt like the 5♣ cuebid was forced, and the 5♠ from East was the single worst overbid of the auction. If we are keeping score I think East did more.

 

But there was lots of enthusiastic bidding, that's for sure.

IMO, things were pretty OK through 4♠.

 

Was 4♠ clearly an cue agreeing ♥ in these methods or was it a general force? If so, the 5♣ may just be an attempt to show a second suit.

 

5♠ seems like a pure "torture pard bid" and 6N is either plain bonkers or paying pard back in kind :)..

East was about a red king short for his 5♠ cue.

Hi,

 

I think 5S is too much, but at least partner should understand, that

5S is based on a heart fit, and in this context 6NT is just ...

 

5S is too agressive, you have 16HCP, you are missing 14 rel. HCPs,

iand p is a passed hand, i guess he would have opened with 12, i.e.

assuming that he has 11 out of the 14 is a lot wishful thinking, so 6H.

 

With kind regards

Marlowe

This means that West's 4♥ (overbid) , 5♣ (mega-overbid) , 6NT (no words...)

were... well ... poor , While East's contribution was the optimistic 5♠ (I think 4♠ was reasonable).

So it seems West gets most of the blame.

Agree, nicely put.

Too bad not playing a Meckstroth gimmick:

When ♥ are trump, 4♠ = RKC and 4NT! = voidwood ( ♠ void for ♥ )

 

♠ K76

♥ QJ54

♦ 98

♣ K987

♠

♥ A863

♦ AQ5432

♣ AQ5

 

(p) - p - 1♠ - X

( 3♠) - 4♥ - ( p ) - 4NT! ( voidwood )

 

( p ) - 5C ( no key cards, excluding ♠ A )

 

.... but 6♥ "ain't going to be a walk in the park" .
