Bid game.

Reverse Bergen or not, I'm getting to game. Sigh.

As soon as you have a small singleton, bid game.

The only thing this hand proves is that East should have held ♣QJ, ♣Qxxx or ♣Jxxx.

If he didn't blame the Great Dealer.

West held QJ9x of clubs and led one.

You can throw him in later with a club to lead one into your A10, but by that point you've already lost 4 tricks - 2 spades, a heart and the club you throw him in with.

I'd bid game. Be nice to stop on a dime here but just move partner's K♦ to spades and you'd be kicking yourself for no guts.

Surely it depends on whether your 1♥ could be any weaker. Mine couldn't, so I bid 3♥ to say so. Let partner make the wrong decision!

I bid game and go down just like everyone else. Life is tough sometimes.
