See you at the trials! We have Wolfson (Meckstroth, Zia, et al.) in round 1. We knocked Meck's team out of the Jacoby which seems like a good omen...
My conclusion from Memphis was that my errors have in fact become better, but that I am out of practice at playing that much bridge in a row and need to be sure to enforce self-care while doing so. That is rather in conflict with going over hands on the day, although I agree with that as optimal also. Also, playing three different systems in 6 days is hard, gee, surprise.
Cuebids has I think been very helpful. I'm considering whether I should start to stream robot play, not for the audience but rather as a tool to *make* me slow down and talk through my thinking.

Often there is conflict between what's best for learning and what's best for your body and concentration. That's a delicate balance to strike.
I have found that recording myself when I make videos makes me go slower and think more. I think it's a great exercise.
