I'll take overbidding for $800, Alex

I play online bridge once or twice a week at OKbridge. On my profile, I've listed this: "Make a great play, I'll write about it in my blog."

A good idea, but I'm having trouble finding any material that suits that statement. Bad bridge, however, is not so difficult to find.

Tuesday evening, a fish player held this hand at favorable vulnerability:
♠K J 9 7 ♥3 ♦A J 6 5 4 ♣9 6 3.

The auction went 1♠ Pass 2♥ (game forcing) to her and she bid 3♦! After Pass Pass 4♠ Pass Pass her partner held:
♠4 ♥A J 10 7 6 ♦K 10 3 2 ♣10 8 7,
and bid 5♦ (I don't blame him). This was doubled and down 800 when a heart got overruffed. This result gave us 11.16 IMPs.

Then this deal (rotated):

                     ♠ 9 4 3 2
                     ♥ Q 10 7 4
                     ♦ K Q 4
                     ♣ 10 3
♠ A                               ♠ K J 10 8 7 6
♥ A K 9 8                         ♥ J 5
♦ J 10 7 2                        ♦ 9 8 3
♣ K 9 4 2                         ♣ 7 6
                    ♠ Q 5
                    ♥ 6 3 2
                    ♦ A 6 5
                    ♣ A Q J 8 5

North-South were vulnerable and East, my partner Mette, was the dealer.
She opened 2♠ and South overcalled 3♣! He had a bare 13 high-card points, 2 of which were the spade queen. Did I mention he was vulnerable? Yes, I think I did. I doubled and the defense was fast and brutal.

I led the ♥K, cashed the ♠A and continued with the ♥A and the ♥9. Mette ruffed and played the ♠K and then the ♠J. Declarer ruffed that with the ♣Q which pretty much guaranteed me two trump tricks. Down three was plus 800 for us (again) and 10.36 IMPs.

You can see all the results for the first board here and for the second one here.

The streets of America are littered with overbidders. I'm just sayin'.
