In GLOBBY's Addled Bidding World it will always takeout when is weak-ish and/or shapley-ish as is the case here. When there is competition d at 2 level after 1c are still 4+ 4+ with no extra strength. Plus assumes the redoubler has 2- clubs in this case hence maybe did not rebid clubs. vrock

and possibly 11-22? doubt if a shut-out bid vrock

With a two suiter GIB is apt to do this. I think I have seen 6-4 as well. vrock

I keep saying there is a resource problem and "they" or "others" keep pooh-poohing me. The context here is money bridge so i suppose I am a paying customer though just table fee. In my experience GIBBO plays for corner cases almost all the time. Is pure genius in doubled contracts. vrock

I would have thought Law of Vacant places would be intrinsic to Monte Carlo simulations. vrock

what would a jump to 4H show? over 3C. vrock

Well said Abbess. Anal American political correctness motivated hypocrisy. vrock

When GIB does something extremely stupid - or so I think - I have a tendency to let lose F-Bombs with other colorful language. No opponent has ever minded. Lately, say 6 months, I have found a chat sentence with ANY "foul" language after I hit return does not appear in the chat window. So, ok they are filtering. HOWEVER, the other day playing with a Bulgarian friend, he let lose an F-Bomb and it appeared in the chat window after he hit return. This I found MOST peculiar. Seemed like this is allowed in Europe not USA. I learnt my F-Bombs after I started playing money bridge in NYShitty. Someone care to shed some light on this censorship? vrock

GIBBO is famous for its pass-and-punish system. I walk on eggs when i uNT or Michaels and GIBBO passes. If I take another bid almost definitely I hear a cue bid in opps' suit. Because it is 25+ "points". amazing they released this without fixing bugs. agreed there are huge number of possible sequences. But so does chess? vrock

of course haha. 12 hcp. case closed. vrock

where would a pass by gibby stand in the scheme of things? vrock

thanks nullve. choice of poisons is fascinating. am more sympathetic of the 2 nt. hearts have not been supported, partner passed over 2H thus QED. Next time I bid 3C and get into more trouble..... vrock

LOL

i worry about the humans who envisaged the bidding software. minimally, it feels like was not tested enough

If I bid 3c over 2nt is weak and passable in my experience with GIBBO. I cant bid 3c over 2H 'cos that is 17-18 or something like that. perhaps i do have 17-18 with the stiff heart. that might be the error here. vrock

what do you responders to this email thread recommend? vrock

sorry, i don't respond to a confrontational tone. vrock

i have found with GIBBO open almost all - perhaps all - 12 hcp hands so i question the initial pass with 12 hcp. open 11 if a stiff. open 10 if two 5 card suits. above has worked well. in GIB's addled mind 3H would be VERY weak. Can't jump to 4H so it does a mark time at the 4-level. i am almost with globby on this one. vrock

Initially I was pissed off. But then just looked at blurb. I showed 20+ points and Gibby had 5 hcp so there goes. switch a king with DK and gibbo has a shot.

who bid 3NT? Human or GIB? vrock

totally agree on both counts. vrock

GIBBO has also shown Q in response to keycard ask when has 6 to the AK. I don't remember but I think pd had shown 3 card support. vrock

methinks GIBBO rarely reverses with such hands when it does not have a stiff. vrock

such doubles with GIBBO as pard are perilous. Quite likely GIBBO thought it was ruffing Clubs LOL vrock
