Yesterday, played in my 1st Express Free TCR Automated Fun Tournament
After 2 boards, I was on 65%
When partner punished me for my slight overbid of 3♥
Perhaps the software should automatically expel players who habitually leap to daft grand-slams and redouble.

More reasonable:
Partner bid more conservatively
But was lucky to find me with 3 aces
He still found a line to go down in this cold small slam
How might he have made it?

Report the player to the BBO Abuse account. There are way too many of these clowns who disrupt the game by making totally frivolous bids. I remember trying out a poker site's free playing area. I found multiple opponents going all in every single hand with nothing which is the equivalent of randomly bidding a grand.

I would say that this declarer would never make it. As I said, this player is a clown, not a "duck".

The method that I try to use is to play the cards in the right order until I've made 12 tricks.
It doesn't always work. Sometimes I have to ask for a replay. This request is rarely granted.
