I'm playing with 3 opponents

[EarlPurple]

When they're against me they bid their hands. Well it seems like they do anyway.

 

As my partner, yesterday in a match on the first hand I bid 1C then 3C after the opponents have bid, partner silent, I had 6 clubs to the ace-king.

Idiot opposite decides to come in with 3 spades on 5 to the ace and nothing else, 2 card support. Opposite my singleton I am in 3 spades and withdraw from the tournament in disgust.

 

Today in a daylong I get 3% for going 3 down in 4 hearts in a 6-1 fit after my RHO opens 1C, I am 1-6-1-5 and after bidding 1H I get 1S on my left, partner silent of course, 3S by East and I bid 4H - partner must have a fit with me surely?? No he is 2-1-9-1. Yes, he's supressed a 9-card diamond suit - yes missing ace and king but NINE of them. Not enough even for 2D? I mean, really! 5 diamonds cold of course, but after I ruff my 2nd club in dummy and come to hand with ace of spades and ruff (yeah, bad), I play trumps from the top, with AQ109xx. Had I played Ace then low I'd have dropped the king doubleton but I then lose control of the hand. Had I picked up the jack in 2 rounds or they'd been 3-3 I'd have made.

So my bot partner suppressed a 9-card suit. I'm not sure I've ever been dealt a 9-card suit but if I did I'm sure I'd have mentioned it somewhere in the bidding, particularly if I had a chance to do so at the 2-level.

 

On the actual bidding I'd just bid 5 diamonds as North first time around.
