In an A/X regional swiss team, you encounter one of the top teams, and this hilarious hand comes up:

North: (unfav)
♠KTxxxx
♥x
♦ATxx
♣J9x

South: (dealer)
♠Q
♥AJT8
♦Q98xx
♣AKxx

S W N E
1♦ 1♥ 1♠ 2♥
P 3♥ 4♦ P
5♦ AP

10 tricks, -100. Other table 4♠x -2, win 9 imps. Neither table got to 3nt.

RHO's shape is 5=3=2=3. ATB? :o
More to come about this hand.

If RHO is 5323, LHO must be 1=5=2=3, he is the only guy without a blame since he (maybe) counted his cards at least.

I blame South for not counting his cards before looking at them. TD will agree with me.

It's so lovely to still see people post 12 or 14 card hands while we have hand diagram tools with such checks available... :rolleyes:

Maybe that is the comical part.

Yes, him too, but in my defense there were a lot of x's which I didn't care about to count thoroughly :P Another funny part: South is dealer, while North is unfav.

I guess N-S are both at fault, but E-W are only partially at fault, one of them actually having 13 cards :) On the other hand, West is off by two rather than one.

Funny. I can't remember ever being called for someone with 11 cards in his hand, even though I've seen 10 quite a few times.
