ATB...well kinda

Welcome to the 42nd annual King of the Sinners PPV event. In the left corner we have Dozing Don. In the right corner we have The Sacred 8. Ding-ding.

 

I really messed this up myself, but just interested in seeing who made the biggest dumb move. I feel my partner and I were both bridge sinners on one board! :o So this is a serious issue...:P

 

My bridge sin committed...falling asleep at the table.

 

Contract 3NT (opps)...my lead with...

Kxx QTxx Kxxx xx

 

4th best heart led, single 9 from dummy. Pard takes the K and opps win with A immediately. They go on to play clubs and cash Qxx AKxxx. On the 3rd club, partner is out and plays the ♠4. I notice it is low, look at my hand and understand based on the bidding it is realistic for partner to hold the ♦A. I soon doze off, unaware that I am now a sinner. On the next club, the 3 is thrown while I am daydreaming about who-knows-what.

 

But this is where partner has sinned...Giving partner an opportunity to make a mistake. Holding 843 in spades, udca count/att/lavinthal. There is no reason for partner to consider the ♠8 as a valuable asset.

 

In conclusion: Pard holds 843 KJxxx xxx xx. I thought if he had 4 hearts without the jack, I should obviously let him in on diamonds. Lost in my thought, I forgot to look at his next toss and missed a valuable marking.

 

Who is crowned King of the Sinners?

 

Disclaimer: I mostly made this post for laughs and to share my own stupidity.

My response is that you're a good player, and defense is difficult.

Odd-Even discards?

 

Wolff hates them because of hesitations before you pick one but with a little practice I prepare mine in advance and never have a problem with tempo.
