Pre-dealt robo dupe. No adjustments, all opp. results are already in.

Seems to be a rounding issue? Seems like it would be better for the score display to use the full actual values for the calculation and only round at display time.

Well, let me put it this way: As an opponent, I'd *love* for you to be playing this system, just like I'd love to see Stolen Bid X or construtive raises on my opponents CC.

What seat? What opps? What scoring? State of match?

Why are you bidding RKC if you aren't willing to bid 6 with a total of 4KC + Q trump? If you are expecting every keycard just to bid 6, you shouldn't be using RKC. This one is 100% on you. I would also add that since you had a cuebidding auction and buypassed showing a ♥ control to bid 4N (and thus implying a ♥ control), a ♥ void should not be considered a working void. If ♥ was your concern you would bid 4♠ over 4♣, not 4NT.

Can't say I'm a fan. All that artificiality and still even your 1M isn't well defined? What's the point?

In a world where you're deathly afraid of partner passing 1♠ and are too much of a point counter to open 2♣...

Don't overthink it and just open 4♠? (Or 4[di[ if you're lucky enough, in this case, to be playing namyats)

Oh my god, I might have to open 1♠ (or 2NT) with a 21 count, the horror!

There really isn't.

Sure. I wouldn't bid it, but why not? Best to minimize memory load on infrequent auctions.

Same as opening 1N.

On paper I'd agree, but it seems that rubicon was crossed long ago (e.g. playing on after claims, referring to your own CC).

Just bid 4♥. I don't really see the problem here. 2♥ accomplishes exactly 'f' all. 4♥ or pass if you're feeling tricky.

A player is under no obligation to follow his own agreements. When it becomes problematic is when your partner starts expecting you to...

Why aren't we playing the Q♦ at trick 3 so we can ditch the club loser? Worse case they simplify the trump position.

Ironically, I think GIB's biggest problem is that it plays a system that is TOO simple. So many bids are so widely-defined that you get into all kinds of weird corner cases later in the auction. I suspect GIB would actually do a lot better playing even stone-age Wei Precision.

Splinter opp. a passed hand is a gross overbid IMO. 1♦-2♠-3♠-4♠ p. Easy game. A minimum splinter would be more like ♠AKxx ♥x ♦KJTx ♣A9xx.

As Bergen once said... stopppers are for bottles. So many ways for 3N to win... Either we have a stopper, Or we don't have a stopper and they don't lead it, Or we don't have a stopper and it splits 4-4, Or we don't have a stopper and it goes -1 but 5m is down at least 1 also (not uncommon when you have 2 losers in one suit), etc

Minorwood if we've agreed it, forcing otherwise. You don't invite to 5m, at least on an auction like this.

Opening-ish. I'm a fan of traditional (gap) michaels so 2♠ would be, say, 6-10 or 17+. So this is like 13-16ish. (11-12 just grins and passes in tempo over 1♠...)

5♦ is a maker, actually. W shows out on the 2nd club so you are 100% to come back and hook the 10.

This seems to be a systemic bug, not a simulation quirk. 9/16 tables ended up in the bad 5-2 heart fit.

12 highs, a decent 5 card suit, and partner opened in 1st or 2nd position. It's IMP scoring. Saying this hand should not be in game is resulting of the worst order.
