Help
I was playing with a random partner in this tournament and in the process of winding up in 3♥ he made 4 bidding mistakes (even though 3♥ is a reasonable final spot) and made at least 4 big blunders in the play of the hand. Of course, this qualifies this person to call himself an expert. Yet every time he made a mistake, it always happened that the only low percentage lie of the cards that would still allow him to make the contract was present.
Any other stories out there of somebody making 8 or more major blunders in one hand and still making the contract and getting a decent result?

Welcome to BBO. Play here for practice. Do not worry too much about results like many of the poor saps who play and place their egos on the line at OK Bridge. You may be amazed at how good your results will be when you get back to regular ACBL tournament bridge even with your frequent revokes and leads out of turn.
