What is phony club in the game of bridge?

There is no concept of a "phony club" in the game of bridge. It's possible you might be thinking of a different card game or a specific bidding convention.

Here are some possibilities:

* "Phony bid" - This is a term used in bridge bidding where a player bids a suit they don't actually hold strong in, hoping to mislead their opponents.

* "Club" - In bridge, clubs are simply one of the four suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades).

* "Convention" - There are many bidding conventions in bridge, and some involve using club bids in a specific way to signal certain hand strengths or suit holding information.

Could you please provide more context? For example:

* What kind of bidding system were you playing?

* What was the specific situation in the game?

* What led you to think there was a "phony club"?
