Sam, You Made The Suit Too Long

There are two factors which, more than any others appear to affect the clear vision of a vast majority of bridge players. One is possession of 100 honors, the other is the holding of a six-card suit. Either of these conditions is apt to induce a declarer complex, and, when they are both present, partner's chance of playing the hand is negligible indeed.

Exhibit A for the prosecution is here submitted:
