No.
If we can make game, partner should have bid stronger.
For that matter, we may not even have a part score.
With kind regards

I posted this for someone who wanted to remain anonymous (with good reason). I almost made up a dummy nickname for the purpose.

If you're really clever, you'll figure out what other thread this hand belongs in. (The guy faced with this problem at our table, did take a call, though it made very little difference to the MP result.)

I'll ask Arend what thread it is.

Lemme guess, 3♣ was on 2434 8 count. I guess 3♣ was the winning action in that thread. I'll head right over and post that suggestion now.
Where do I go to collect my prize.
Sorry about the snark but these two hands just illustrate that if you randomize your results a lot, you'll get a few nice stories out of it. That's why bridge tournaments are not 1-board events.

No kidding.
I really get tired of 'look how clever I am' threads.
I'd also be curious to see what the 3♠ looks like.

Director! two spade tens!
See your fancy 3♣ bid didn't work after all.
