I s that kidding?

To give the reason is important.

It was one of the last boards, a pair seemed to win all the time, very strangely, they started to prevent losing score by conservative mean. Someone passed his partner's opening bid with 9 points and guessed "There won't be game, I just don't want to take risk! " His partner made the contact with many overtricks and then asked whether partner had simply taken a wrong bid out. Surprisingly, his partner told lie " I'm so sorry my dear I just missed an ace. I thought I had only 5 points."

S ome opened 1S normally. His partner bid 4H. He passed 4H quickly.

H e didn't realize that 4H was splinters bid. He was going to play 4H with only 3 hearts. Surprisingly, his LHO, having 6 cards of hearts, X 4H with a big smile. The lucky guy's partner bid 4S with a bigger smile. The declarer passed 4S after a long thought. There were many audience around the table. They didn't laugh at all. Certainly, not to laugh was so painful.
