Congrats on having such a good night. Love those games where you come away feeling like you really "stuck the landing".
When I first started, I was better with a strong partner. Down the road a ways, when I was normally the stronger partner, I'd have a better game when I was with a weaker partner. It forced me to step up. Conversely I noticed I began to have worse games with a stronger partner. It was a combination of intimidation and a tendency to relax and not step up. For me, the hardest transformation, but the best, has been to being an "equal" partner, no matter who I'm with.
