Ants

I've had the joy recently of talking another sorry soul into playing the Electric Ant with me. If you're unfamiliar with the system or get turned on by vileness you can read about it here.

Most of the time you have abnormal auctions to normal contracts, for example:

	♠ 8 6 2 ♥ K 7 ♦ Q T 7 5 ♣ K 8 5 4
♠ K T ♥ 9 6 5 3 2 ♦ 8 4 2 ♣ 7 3 2		♠ Q J 7 5 4 ♥ - ♦ J 9 6 3 ♣ A J 9 6
	♠ A 9 3 ♥ A Q J T 8 4 ♦ A K ♣ Q T

North	East	South	West
1♦1	1♠	2♠2	Pass
3♣3	Pass	4♥	Pass
Pass	Pass

1. 8 - 11 4+ diamonds
2. Just some way to force
3. Second suit! I can't bid 2NT and 3♦ seems wrong.

All pretty abnormal. The contract was the same at the other table. Partner was annoyed because he'd finally picked up a strong club only to be torpedoed by who else but me.
Our opponents did get bitten from time to time however, this hand gave us a nice part score swing:

	♠ J 9 8 3 2 ♥ A 2 ♦ 9 7 6 5 ♣ J 2
♠ 7 3 ♥ J 8 4 3 ♦ J 4 3 ♣ A K Q 3		♠ Q 4 ♥ Q T 9 5 ♦ A K T 8 2 ♣ 7 6
	♠ A K T 6 ♥ K 7 6 ♦ Q ♣ T 9 8 5 4

I opened 1♥ in the West chair (obviously) and my partner raised to 2♥. Abandoning preconceived notions about what a single major raise 'should' be we play it as nought to a bad 13 with 4 card support. When misplayed expertly by me for 8 tricks we gained 6 imps as our team mates made 9 tricks in spades. Which opponent do you think should take action?
