Yup. You bid with the probabilities and occassionally you go down. Hopefully you were playing in a strong enough field that everyone else was there too.

Although this contract wasn't as great as I think OP seems to suggest. The ♦Kx offside made no difference since stiff king anywhere is the only way not to have a ♦ loser.

I'd bid 4♥ on the first hand.
While I would bid on with the second hand, it's not clear to me that I'm worth forcing to slam. Perhaps a cuebid of 4♠ and a pass of 5♥ from partner (partner's hand is awful for slam and he will not cooperate) is reasonable. Partner could easily have something like ♥KQxxxx and out for the 4♥ bid, in which case 5♥ is the limit.

LOL@myself. One could hook the spade and pitch 2 ♦ from the north hand. I missaw the hand.

Isn't this contract cold on a non diamond lead if you guess correctly?
