Just today I played a contract in 3nt making six. My partner watched the play very intently and at the end asked "How could we have bid that". How could she not have noticed that the opening lead gave me a double finesse in a suit missing the ace, that I could never have picked up!

I was actually too embarrassed to answer and just shook my head at her.

That's why I don't like discussing the hands at the table.

Proper netform when your opps blow one trick on the lead and two more in the play is to say, "just lucky, thats all".

Or when they totally butcher the hand and when congratulated on your defense you reply: "We took all our tricks." :P
