I was playing rubber bridge with my wife last night, and made a mistake. Unfortunately, with this kind of mistake, I often get away with it. Last night, I realized my mistake as soon as I'd made it, and it likely cost us a trick.
Opening lead on defense, I underlead my king (Kxx or Kxxx I think). Partner put in the Jack, and declarer won the ace. From this, I deduce the position of the queen.
Later, when I got in, I thoughtlessly slammed down my king, then immediately winced. Sure enough, partner had the queen, but had to play it under my king (having started with the QJ doubleton), promoting declarer's ten.
Playing low to partner's queen really shouldn't cost.
