Last weekend I was involved in a knockout match and we lost due to
the most depressing hand I have ever seen. I am looking for sympathy
in the form of a more sorrowful tale of woe. We lost a total of 3730 
points considering both tables. Its everyone vulnerable. I pick up 
Axx-x-void-KQJxxxxxx. My interest perks up as I open 1C first seat.
It goes 1D,1H,1S and its my turn again. I decide upon 3C. I now hear
4S,5C,5S back to me. It appeared 6C was a very reasonable shot and I 
took it. 6S,pass,pass follows. Now what? I chicken out and go with the 
double. Any suggestions for a lead? I chose my stiff heart after some 
thought. Dummy hit the table and I was slightly concerned. Here is the
full deal:
                  void
                  KQxxxx
                  Kxxxx
                  AT
        Jxxxx              KQxxx
        void               AJxxxx
        AQJT9xx            x
        x                  x
                  Axx
                  x
                  void
                  KQJxxxxxx
 
Minus 1940 at our table. The auction at the other table went 
2C-3D-dbl-P-4C-P-4H-P-5C-P-6C-dbl-P-P-P. Minus 1790. Sigh.
A double doubled slam swing. Can someone top this story? Please
cheer me up if you can.
