Help
Once in a while I make an excellent bid - or crazy bid. Kind of depends on who you ask. However, the contract was excellent - if I'd only I could play the cards right....
You hold (north)
AQ5 A1042 32 T873
Partner opens(south):
1♣-(1♥)-1♠!-pass ::: alert 1♠ forcing, <4 card ♠
2♣-(2♥)-3NT!!-AP ::: so I took a shot!
Down comes dummy (south):
T872
J
KQ65
KQJ6
Well - she found an opening (norwegian national). She is kind of lost after 1♠. What other than 2♣(?) - I did not picture this hand, but I found the "magical" 3NT.
Not exactly what I expected, but still, not hopeless.
lead ♥9 to J, Q and small. New ♥ to your 10 and small from east. ♣ to K which holds, ♠x to Q, which holds, ♠A which drops K west, and new spade to east J. Small diamond from East to dummy's K which wins!
And now for the greeaat finnally! I asked for a card in dummy, west hesitated - I turned red, started shaking, knowing I had f****d up, seeing everything falling apart - Do you see it? Can you guess which card I took and what West returned? Not difficult to see perhaps, but a dreadfull experience!
Just wanted to share - feel free to comment.

If I'm following this properly, you called for the 6♣, burning your only entry to hand to the A♥?
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

On the spot! West took ♣A and returned his last club - a friendly fellow! I was trapped in dummy, forced to play from ♦Qx...

I don't see the point of this post? Should we applaud your "magical" 3NT bid, or do you want us to giggle over your mistake? Or should we tell you that such mistakes have happened to everybody, and still does sometimes (to me at least)?
