My 4-1 break in vul slam in the last one was very clutch for you! Actually I was annoyed, gib had Kxx and AQ98x in trumps and played Q first, it was JTxx onside so if he played king first then low, then knowing gib the opp would have split. You would think gib would be better at taking advantage of itself.

Good thing I always have completely excellent luck and don't go down in anything due to bad breaks!

Out of curiousity, have you guys (Jdonn and Jlol) played with each other extensively? Do you blend well, or do you feel like your individual excellence does not actually translate as much when you play together?
Back in the day jdonn and I played a lot on BBO. We never played in real life though. We were a good partnership, but a partnership between a working stiff and a pro would never work out since the working stiff cant play that many tournaments. I also always had other partners.

Why don't you play the S0.25 robots races ?
You have always the best hand (as in other robots' tournaments but also you'll both get the same hands.
No more luck involved but only skills.

Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Ty Justin especially for putting up with about 70% of the combined whining about hands and luck!
