Oh, cmon, nothing, nothing at all comes near to taking out as much random factor as switching declarers would. argh

Yeah, by the way, what would BBO guys say if at home, playing offline with 3 GIBs they couldnt be declarer instead of GIB? They would be upset I think. In spite of GIB not losing their money...

Certainly anyone can play a hand worse than GIB but then you can only blame yourself and certainly GIB has the same chance for screwing up a board for anyone. This is not the qeustion. The question is if I am paying for every deal (5 cents) why GIB gets the fun? And why can't we match our declarer play with my human opponent more often? I dont see any purpose for GIB declaring. So I can watch him play?! Well, that is no fun at all, I guarantee. Especially when it is loosing my money at the same time. I wish someone from BBO would explain this unexplainable.

I'll live. Why dont You just switch those declarers instead? Or anyone...

Does anyone know what is the point in NOT switching declarers when GIB becomes the declarer in a contract? I could play more for my money, I could blame myself for losing my money and GIB's bidding is a stress enough to handle now it is topped with a much more often than one likes abysmal declarer play. There must be a point for all this suffering but I fail to see it...
