Help
about bidding 6♣ with 6-4.... I remember some people said in the past that since hands were suffled and dealt at the table no cheating was possible there.
A friend of mine told me this weekend that a player in France was catched cheating doing this: he suffled the pack of cards in front of everyone, then substitued the pack for one of his own prepared. So it is possible to do this even suffling in front of you.

This is a highly amusing comment. The opponents are green and you are red. Why do you think that 5D cannt make. What is your partner supposed to bid over 3H with

or even

Whoops you are correct, 5D does not make on the second hand, but 6 does.

Over 5D north will bid 6D and East will have to X lightner, west can go wrong but i think he should lead a S rather than a club. Really nasty hand to get in a team game.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

Against your 6♦ they lead a spade. 
If you give them a call, yes. Ye saboteur!

Try some hands for partner with 6 or 7 diamonds to make a stronger case.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

pass, 5 ♦, 4nt or dbl
4nt should show eqaul length in the minors. i dont like it
5 ♦ shows a one suiter
dbl shows at least to places to play (not three at the 4-level!!).
so if p bids 4♠ which is likely i can bid 5♦, showing a 2 suiter with better ♦ than ♣
! this is surely better than a direct 5♦.
i dont like pass bec 5 ♦ may be makeable or a good save!
it is DBL!

Ordinarily, I would pass.
I note that it says board 12. Needing a number in a 12 board match, I might give 5♦ a shot, but that would depend on my assessment of opponents bidding style and playing strength..
