East deals and passes, NS vulnerable against not.

At our table the auction went:

1-1 : 16+ unbalanced, 18+ balanced; gf, 8+ hcp, 2+ ctls, 4+
1-2 : relay; 4+
2-2: relay; 55+ in my suits
2nt-3: relay; 11 in the side suits (or 00)
3-4: relay; I should have bid 3nt to show longer but I thought I was showing 4 controls
4-4: to play; I have extras, and 0 or 2 of AK of spades
5-pass: I don't care, we are playing hearts; I'm very sad but ok.

We've wrongsided it with the 65 hand as dummy, and the opening lead is a low heart. I plead temporary insanity (easily top 3 worst plays this nationals), because I tried to run it to the 9 for an entry to my hand, not that this was going to be good enough to do enough pitches unless qx tight of spades with only one heart - but I somehow thought there were only 5 club's in dummy and 3 sure losers while 2 pitches on spades would make it 2 only losers. This lost and clubs were 3-3 for a hand which should make 5 was down one.

Opponents bid it:
1-2: natural; natural gf
3-3: set trump demand cue; cue
4-4: cue; sign off
6-pass: no sign off!

Teammates on the auction that doesn't reveal the giant misfit tried a spade from 3 little through the spade cue bid and now can ruff a club in the dummy and make 6.

Minus 100 and minus 1430 is lose 17. Not a good board for match 7 needing only about 10 vp in the last 2 matches combined.

Edited to switch dealer from West to East.

-West is not the dealer.
-A club ruff in dummy only provides 11 tricks.

Clubs were splitting, ruff a club and give up a club

About dealer, I've rotated N and S but forgot to rotate dealer, so on the posted hands it would be East dealing and passing. At the table it was West dealing and North had the 0=7=0=6 hand.

And club's 3-3 means a ruff is good enough for 6 (JT tight or 3-3 would have been enough to make 5 if I hadn't miss counted when considering my line).
