bridge reason for hesitation?

Thinking about whether to call the Director after an irregularity has no
valid bridge reason. =


You are free to think about accepting the irregularity after the Director
has arrived at the table and explained your options.
You could however have played (without hesitation and) without calling the
Director (Law 53A).

Attempting to call your partner's attention to the irregularity is a
violation of Law 73B1.

Emne: [Blml] bridge reason for hesitation?

Declarer is playing 4 hearts.

He takes my opening lead with the ace in dummy.

Next he plays a heart from hand.

I wait for a while, giving partner the chance to accept or not, and
reflecting whether it is good for me to accept. I have the jack singleton,
with the queen fourth on the table. Thinkin it unlikely that he will finesse
towards his ten, I decide to accept and play the jack, without any further
mention.

At the end of the hand, declarer asks me, "why did you think with the
singleton jack?". I reply "because you were actually on the table at the
time, and I was considering whether to accept or not."

Nothing further happened, but it made me wondering:

Is thinking about accepting an irregularity a "valid birdge reson".
I think it is.

Herman.
