♥'s were 3-0?
edit oops no, you said NO bad breaks
they didnt unblock ♠ before ruffing ♣'s and cut off communication with the table?

I don't know what to say about this. Topics like this make me think they should give you ratings based on imps/mps against other players.
I would be interested in the play though. I'd guess, won the club, ruff a club, heart to the A, ruff a second club, heart to the K, spade king playing low, now he has an inescapable diamond loser.

I don't think this is the worst played hand of all time. But it may be in a 5,000,000 way tie for worst.

0-3 hearts is not of course a bad break.

declarer ruffed two clubs and didn't realize that if he did THAT after pulling trump and played a spade to hand he only had 12 tricks and not 14.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

So what did dummy say? "wdo"?

Ya there really only is one line to go down in this hand. K spades, 2 club roughs, draw trump
Or maybe declarer ducked a club to rectify the count? Expert I tell ya.. expert.

I doubt highly that this was actually the worst, although the line has not yet been stated.
As an example, I have heard of a declarer cross-ruffing with high trumps (completely unnecessarily) to end up with the equivalent of 3 opposite 2, only to ultimately allow the opponents to take three tricks by cross-ruff with the 6-5-4 on a hand where the deal is laydown for 13 tricks.
I also know of a hand where a Defender had KJxxx in trumps behind the Ace-fifth in Declarer's hand, but took no trump tricks, despite dummy being used to ruff an early trick.
