Understood. And it would have been guessing if I had had two Aces. In a hand like that, with a clear pecking order (and single high card), it's lowest card first.

Woof.

We're getting smoked here.

But just as there's always the next season in sports, there's always the next hand!

It's a laydown hand.

Clubs: Joker, JC, JS, K, Q, 10,9,8,6
Spades: Ace

So unless one of you has all 4 remaining clubs, you aren't taking a trick.

We win. 740 - 0.

3 clubs in the widow. I had some issues with the offsuits, let me dump them and keep just the Ace Spades.

Initial hand that I bid 9 clubs on:

8H
KD
AS 9S
Joker, JC, JS, KC, 8C, 6C

Youch. One of us doesnt' have all four remaining clubs, since I have just the A clubs and would be forced to play it the first trick assuming you led trump.

rest: QS, 10S, 8S, QD, 10D, 7D, 6D, 5D, 5H.

J Diamonds
A Hearts
K Hearts
Q Hearts
4 Hearts
7 Clubs
4 Clubs

5 Spades

If I had known Troy was gonna bid 9, I would have went 9. Probably woulda lost with that widow, but oh, well.

it had 2 hearts.

you might not have made 9 though, you would have probably had to keep the clubs as your off suit. rel having the Ace would have been huge for you and made things very interesting.

No, I definitely would not have. I'd lose to your JOKER and then after rel's AC you could beat anything we had left.

I'm OK to continue. It doesn't take much commitment and I enjoy each new hand.

If we get an OK from Troy and WK we can continue.
