Hi all, I like to play robot rebate tournaments, but I have some serious problems with BBO and GIB: First: Finesses never seem to make. Often it's worst case distributions. In normal bridge life, even with computer generated hands in club tourneys or regional tourneys it's not like in robot BBO. Often I do not even try to make a finesse, e.g. entering dummy with some difficulty for making a finesse. It is better probability to just play the ace and play to JQ in dummy. King is most probably left of me anyhow. Now that way I would never ever play in a normal tournament! Second: GIB explanations are often just wrong. Especially concerning the length of the bid suit. But also regarding the number of cards GIB thinks he has. The screenshot which I attach shows GIB thinks he is holding (at least) 15 cards! How can this be?
