If there are 5 aces in deck could be 6 or 7....

In tennis, a successful challenge means you don't lose a challenge. If you know 100% a call is incorrect, challenging is GTO.

This is a pleasant surprise.

Yeah but they almost never know if it was 100% wrong because a challenge is used on a really close call by the line judge, usually when the judge had a better view than the player. So using a challenge and being wrong early can be a huge cost later in the set when it's more important.

Eye witness testimony sucks though, so they may just be completely self convinced that they are correct.

A lot of the time, the challenge is called by a player because he has the better view.

Guys, "spaz" really isn't acceptable anywhere in North America in polite company. Not for a while.

This is categorically false, not sure about other parts of NA but in my life I've never heard any North American ever categorize this word as offensive

That was M. Beauchemin's favourite word in Grade 8.

Love Terence's comment on how to fix Perkins' tilt -- play with other people's money
