haha pesceton. That AmGors applies when it has game in sight, not in cases like this. LOL vrock

Also johnu it promises a SOLID suit. I could have jumped to slam assuming that. vrock

maybe they make it since many crossruff tricks available. maybe GIBBO is right to pull. maybe.... vrock [hv=http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?lin=pn%7CVirgosRock%2Csusnv%2CRobotN%2CRobotE%7Cst%7C%7Cmd%7C2S368KHQD38JQC26JK%2CS579TJH569TD9C35A%2CS4QAH248JKD45TC48%2C%7Crh%7C%7Cah%7CBoard+16%7Csv%7Ce%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C1D%7Can%7CMinor+suit+opening+--+3%2B+%21D%3B+11-21+HCP%3B+12-22+total+points+%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C1H%7Can%7COne+over+one+--+4%2B+%21H%3B+11-+HCP%3B+6-12+tot%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C2H%7Can%7CSimple+raise+--+3%2B+%21D%3B+4+%21H%3B+11%2B+HCP%3B+12-15+total+points+%7Cmb%7Cd%7Can%7CTakeout+double+--+4%2B+%21C%3B+5-+%21D%3B+5-+%21H%3B+4%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C2S%7Can%7C3%2B+%21S%3B+9-+total+points+%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CS2%7Cpc%7CS6%7Cpc%7CS9%7Cpc%7CSQ%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CH2%7Cpc%7CH3%7Cpc%7CHQ%7Cpc%7CH5%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CS3%7Cpc%7CS5%7Cpc%7CSA%7Cpc%7CD2%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CHK%7Cpc%7CHA%7Cpc%7CS8%7Cpc%7CH6%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CSK%7Cpc%7CS7%7Cpc%7CS4%7Cpc%7CD7%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CDQ%7Cpc%7CD9%7Cpc%7CD4%7Cpc%7CDK%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CCT%7Cpc%7CCK%7Cpc%7CCA%7Cpc%7CC4%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CHT%7Cpc%7CHJ%7Cpc%7CH7%7Cpc%7CD3%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CC8%7Cpc%7CCQ%7Cpc%7CC2%7Cpc%7CC3%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CC9%7Cpc%7CCJ%7Cpc%7CC5%7Cpc%7CD5%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CD8%7Cpc%7CST%7Cpc%7CDT%7Cpc%7CD6%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CSJ%7Cpc%7CH8%7Cpc%7CC7%7Cpc%7CC6%7Cpg%7C%7Cpc%7CH9%7Cpc%7CH4%7Cpc%7CDA%7Cpc%7CDJ%7Cpg%7C%7C%0A%0A]399|300[/hv]

Begs the question if there were any experts consulted when building the bidding database. Soloway jump shifts and follow-up is well characterized thus this is horrendous. jdonn says it is impossible but I still feel a wrapper is needed. If the blurb does not match the cards re-simulate. vrock

Just sad. What was the 5D blurb? What was the range in 4C blurb? Still ridiculous to not cuebid spades. Plus has a max 9 HCP. Another case of GIBBO being a BIG ZERO when there is competition. Maybe "it" "thought" max 17 HCP. Or maybe since there wasn't a jump to 5D after 3S which would simultaneously show game AND deny spade control. Who knows? I walk on eggshells and try to get a plua. vrock

case in point. from lead can i conclude cJ on my left? even then, communication is a problem. A;so note the 1S bid. Did I mention in another post GIBBO gets Am Gors when length in opps suit?

I am shocked a country like Saudi Arabia allowed an intoxicant like GIBBy. Seriously, thanks for this info. Did you ever question Matt G about GIBBO's bidding especially in competition, AND defensive signalling and carding? thanks vrock

good point. though i would like to keep 2H as waiting just in case GIBBO has some unusual hand. vrock

yep. no issues with 3NT. issue with blurb, vrock

agree 100%. normally bids 1S in a flash. vrock

I was shocked the blurb showed 6+ hearts. All this time it was 5+ default. Unless my eyes are failing since 5+ looks a lot like 6+. Kinda doubt it. vrock

But 14????? instead of 17-21 hcp? vrock

i also agree. why did human south not bid 1N? vrock

Yes Abbess, I am screwed. Surprised "screwed" is allowed by the censors LOL. I am trying to get to the bottom of why I thought 5C or 5H showed 17-18 as I remember but Stephen Tu is not seeing it when he enters hand in GIBBO website. vrock

Stephen, when I reach "deal Source" I get hand types and 2 columns. How do I populate the columns for NESW thanks vrock

Starting here http://www.bridgebase.com/client/current_client/bbo.php?cb=7Fu61BiqKJ where do you click next? practice tables do not get me to a point where i can enter cards. am on win 10 PC and firefox. vrock

I recall BOTH 5c and 5h were 17-18 "points" after GIBBO's final double which is why I passed. Were you using your PC bot? thanks anil

The problem is "whatever I choose" shows 17-18. It might bid 7C or 7H because it has 17. I think the negative double shows only hearts in this sequence. Nothing about clubs. Though there is a strong negative inference I have clubs as well. Which makes the pass over 3S even more bewildering. vrock

probably somewhere in there is my fault..... BUT Surely after negative double GIBBO with 17 HCP can find 4C but NO. Let's pass and kill partner later. and then the multiply ambiguous double. If I bid 5C or 5H it is 17-18 "points" and so I am screwed. If BBO was spending its efforts fixing GIBBO instead of searching for "abusive" language and consequent censorship we may have gotten somewhere in 10+ years. wtf!! I tried wtf and it didn't stimulate censorship.

Hmmm... seems like 1. since 3NT GIBBO has concluded contract is making 2. since 3 NT assumes you have stiff DK else would have bid 3S; and will be forced to discard when running d from dummy The other question is why 3NT. void in D, 3D is invitational and South has void and 14 HCP. Almost bet GIBBO bids 5D over 3S. Perhaps Stephens and dudes and merrimen can shed some light on the future after 3S. vrock
