sm, while vugraphing the big boys ran into logic for b) which was akin to "takeout only if positive" else pass. Thus there were constraints on take out doubler as well.

Maybe, just maybe, wants partner to play 3 NT in such cases? who knows.

Never seen this since I came on the forum I don't care about 0 replies. I care about 0 views. That tells me the presentation system is broken. I am not an attention seeker. Therefore I am not "expecting reply to every single one of your posts". You and JDonn seem to be in agreement here. If I see an anomaly I post. Case closed. If it is a repetition of a previous post, too bad. It should have been fixed then. I hope the "egregiousness" you mention is GUBBO egregiousness. Overall, despite being brilliant wrt completeness of your post/responses, you are either a software developer or a mathematician neither of whom have a sense of humor. In addition your Zodiac sign is probably Aquarius LOL With due respect vrock

then what explains lack of 3D bid?

What? 0 views 0 opinions :) the other post where i said "what 0 views and 0 opinions" jumped to 35 views after i posted followup.

what? 0 views and 0 opinions :)

except 2NT is GUBBO asking for your minor, not to play. sm, what would you expect from bot? 3D? has 10 hcp. Perhaps 3D?

Please note when I say GUBBOdious the context is: 1. Competitive bidding > 85% 2. Regular bidding especially insane jumps to 6 or 7 less than 10% 3. Not having structure in defense for attitude signals Other than above GUBBO is quite excellent unless out of resources In this particular hand I almost doubled. Had a feeling GUBBO would pull so took the plus. Note the excellent first round finesse by GUBBO in diamonds. Very nervous when bidding 2H but remembered in identical situation GUBBO pulls when has stiff.

GUBBO adds all the sunny scenario points then borrows more from opponents and bids sunny 7's.

how can 2S follow 2N ?

what doth simulation say?

LOL twice rebiddable clubs, twice rebiddable hearts and so on. Is it simulation or a flaw in the table?

Note I was not playing the hand. in 4S GUBBO would have played king or other GUBBO goes up Ace. Yes, I misspoke. not cold. But we belong in 4S.

If I remember correctly 1NT by me was 11-13. Anyway cold game missed.

pretty irrelevant 'cos I have experienced GUBBO do same with Jx.

seems like MP go for invite. IMP/MB go for game.

This is one where you say brilliant lead and move on. Despite posts to the contrary GUBBO's opening leads are very good.

I think GUBBO has my number for sure 'cos a couple of times the phone rang and a disembodied and disemboweled voice said "May the force be with you". Some may have wondered about the tinfoil comment by hrothgar. Per google: A tin foil hat is a hat made from one or more sheets of aluminium foil, or a piece of conventional headgear lined with foil, worn in the belief or hope that it shields the brain from threats such as electromagnetic fields, mind control, and mind reading.

Abbess you might have found a way to penalize with length in their suit. Make a takeout double LOL. Will keep in mind.

agree with most of what you have said. 13+ evaluates to 18+ in GUBBO's sunny disposition ?? I don't think GUBBO will let you survive a negative double with 4H and 2S.

what is wrong with 4H? or even cue 4C (which should be h support good hand no no no 4C is c ace with d trump).

Am going to disagree with both of you. 2 bullets, decent 6 card suit. need 2 or 3 hearts with GUBBO to make it a reasonable shot. 3S is ridiculous. Should pass.

Is "You" me? I said GIB does not cheat. Please re-read.
