1. Everybody would make this overcall, right?
2. Oh no, not again. (see below)
3. Okay, I hope this works out better than what happened on board 4.

This was the second time in this event my vulnerable 2 level overcall was being penalized. (For the first time, see the main page.) The defense took 3 spades, 1 heart, 2 diamonds, and 1 club for -500. Adam and Greg reached a reasonable 4H at the other table which, unfortunately, was down 1 for -100.
