ohhhhh its a dolphin. i see it now. I always thought it was an ostrich's head.

jlall likes to gamble. i'm pretty sure he went for it.

If this is the first or second board of the match, I'll make my game. If it's towards the end of the match and I judge the score might be close, I'll go for the victoryyyyyyyyyy.

Ya. +1. This hand is like an ace, a void, and an extra trump better than expected. What more could you want?

Looking forward to reading this

I'm a chicken. 3♦

I don't think that suit is even close to being good enough for gambling 3NT. 4♣ is my choice.

I don't agree with your description of psyches as "random". I suppose they can be random, but in general I think they're thought out pretty carefully in practice.

3♠ for me

I might be losing my mind, but I think one of the official quotes of my high school class was "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens." I feel like you reciprocated the message of that quote nicely in your post. At least, that's the message I got from it.

I'm the first to admit I'm not very good at matchpoints, but even so I have a hard time coming up with arguments for either hand to double this. It's really hard to be perfect at bridge.

I'd just pass then. I hate missing games, but a plus score is a good score, and there's no guarantee even of a plus score.

Chris you play precision! how is this even a problem?!

pass. my bad trumps and bad hearts are more than enough to offset my good ♦ and first round ♣ control

2♠?

1♠

and do a dance afterwards shouting BOOO YAHHHH WHO'S THE MANNN IN YOUR FACEEEE. That'll teach them for making mistakes.

AVALANCHAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I find that I enjoy a very wide variety of stuff. My iPod has everything from Miles and Sonny Rollins to Tupac and Nas to Lady Gaga, and I listen to pretty much all of it regularly. I wish I had cool stories about how music could regulate my feelings and inspire an adventure, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. Perhaps my eclectic tastes have prevented me from forming any kind of connection with any one particular song, artist, style, whatever.

I've never encountered a hand where I consciously thought that I have a slam invite only opposite a super accept. Not only would partner need to be at the top of his range for the super accept, but he would have to be at the top of the top of his range to then make my slam invite worthwhile. Partner often will upgrade a hand this good. I think the target you're shooting at is way, way too small.
