Down two tricks. Wow! Very unfortunate that spades split 6-0, but great lead!
Do you cue a stiff K ? 15-17nt

I would change partner, this one doesn't respect my cuebid. Since it's such a noob, I'd just pass since he probably won't even be able to count his trumps to 13...
Worse, he knew he couldn't count his tricks to 12 and would go down one by taking a finesse at trick one.
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?

Jilly, your pickup expert partner, wasn;t....
Yep disappointing to say the least. Oh well as you said, everyone has bad days.
Ignoring this bidding, I am interested to know how to evaluate the stiff K? Without knowing more about my partners’ hand I cannot give it full value so how should I treat it?
Likewise, how do you evaluate stiff Aces in a trump contract?
