Go to trick 6.

I guess this happened because my 3♥ bid showed 15+ total points and therefore I had to have a club void?

I guess East (holding 9HCP) left his partner (who announced 23+ total points) in a partscore because he knew West would butcher the play.

We have a nomination for the worst bid and worst played hand of the year (if not the millenium to date).

3♥ was obviously a psyche, I do that sort of bid all the time. They rarely double for penalty, and as you see here it trips them up rather badly.

I don't mean this to sound harsh, but one should never do any "sort of" psyche all the time, as your partner becomes to aware of your tendencies. That is, no one should have "normal" or "typical" psyches. I do tend to psyche 3NT over partner's 3 level preempts when not vul versus vul. I expect my partner to alert that I kid around with that bid. I have even stopped (well almost) doing it because of my partners became too aware of this habit of mine.

By "all the time", I interpreted "all the time in Robot tourneys" as a given. Robots do not become aware. Until Cyberdyne Corporation takes over GIB.
Psych (pron. saik): A gross and deliberate misstatement of honour strength and/or suit length. Expressly permitted under Law 73E but forbidden contrary to that law by Acol club tourneys.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mPosted ImagesPosted ImagetPosted Imager-mPosted ImagendPosted Imageing) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.

"Gentlemen, when the barrage lifts." 9th battalion, King's own Yorkshire light infantry,
2000 years earlier: "morituri te salutant"

"I will be with you, whatever". Blair to Bush, precursor to invasion of Iraq
