Not a good result on this hand at either table for team bbo.

Both tables started with a heart preempt. I began with 3 at the other table, and the auction was short... 3h 3nt all pass. I should balance back in with 4 (7-5 come alive), but especially after I took so long to pass. If Barry had found the club ace and a club lead, I would have protested the result if I was the other team (I did huddle a while before passing). Barry lead a diamond at our table.

As you can see this was a double game swing. We actually lost the lead on board 7, I think, but it was still close. This hand was the beginning of end for team bbo forum.

Yes, I think both of you can and should bid again. Its too much to ask for a club lead. Barmar's 4 has many ways of winning - it might make or it might be a cheap save. Larry Lande said something insightful to me in spec - Barry should suspect you have an unusual hand because he has two heart honors and his RHO overcalled 3N.

I would bid 4 on yours. You have such a freak hand that taking another call looks right.

JEC might find a 4 call now, but you'll go plus on the obvious club lead.

I did suspect something weird was going on, and thought a while before I passed. But I thought Mike might misplay , not expecting me to have all the good stuff, so I didn't bid 4. Then I made a passive lead, hoping something good would happen.
