Like many players, I occasionally watch the JEC (Mr. Jimmy Cayne) games on BBO. I missed the best part of this session, but wondered why the opposition were so far behind, especially as they were both world class players.

I didn't think much about it at the time but I always like accessing BBO records to see if I can glean some knowledge from the hands played. However, on closer inspection I just can't believe some of the bidding and results here. Am I missing anything? It looks completely insane.

Anyway, your interpretation and replies are most welcome. I have looked through the hands a couple of times: some of things happening do not make any sense to me whatsoever. Your views?

Amr Meky seems to have had a bad day. Is s/he a World Class player?

either he is the most ridiculous example of BBO world class ever seen, or he just decided to bid like a petulant idiot after a few boards.

Not to defend him, but I too would get petulant if my partner frequently opened rubbish.
