very funny


But I'm on a diet. I'm not psyching.

The briefest possible answer I can think of is "bad".

You can't prevent them from finding a spade fit with a 1NT bid, AND you aren't going to cause anyone to grossly misplace the high cards. What DO you hope to gain from this psyche, that can justify doing this instead of some number of hearts? (A simple 2♥ is fine - but if you're trying to be cute, 3♥ to make them misguess their game prospects or 5♥ to force an immediate final guess both have more merit than 1NT imo.)

Marginal against people although it can definitely do good things. Excellent psych against gib!
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Interesting maybe, but I wouldn't do it.

Seems kind of random although it could work - you might convince LHO that RHO has opened light in 3rd seat for example, if both opponents pull back a notch they could miss a routine game.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

If we have a big heart fit we can buy it a little cheaper; suppose partner doubles their 2♠ bid. This is the biggest potential gain, albeit quite infrequent!

I made an identical psyche to this once in an NAOP qualifier. Played 3N for an amazing result when RHO misread my hand.

So I guess I would call this one "familiar" :D

blank stays black: this is a psych... I wouldn't do it though.
