My bid here was an awful 2 ♣.   Sometimes you find yourself doing things like that.   Getting tired, looking at a 5-card suit and a few point and you bid something before you know it, without giving it much thought.   This hand has too much points in South's 5-card suit.   Worst of all there is the big risk that partner is going to bid spades and the auction will propel you into disaster, as happened with us.   I will spare you the details, just don't bid 2 ♣.
