Score for JLOL.

I'll admit it, he convinced me. 7♦ without the club queen or heart king, but 7NT on the given hand.

Actually, score me. See page 1.

I have sympathy for the side bid 7♦ only to find that the other side blasted into a better and more importantly, an easily makeable slam.

But I don't agree with the "moral" of the story about avoiding bad teams. You would have landed in 7♦ regardless of who the opponents were. If you were playing a superior team, there's no guarantee that they'd bid the same way, as has been pointed out more than one poster here. I find it a lot more aggravating when good players or good teams get lucky than weaker ones. If this happened to my team I'd be glad it didn't happen when playing a crucial match against a better team.
Seeking input from anyone who doesn't frequently "wtp", "Lol" or post to merely "Agree with ..."
