helene_t Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 My guess is that GIB would play it as just what you said. Maybe this is an impossible bid that can only come up as an artifcact of the DD simulation technique: He should have bid 2♥ or 3♥ in the last round, but then the simulation results happened to lead him to passing. I can think of no sensible meaning of this bid. In fact I can't think of a hand that would like to bid anything in this situation. Guess I lack fantasy. Btw, did you consider passing 1NT? Opps are vulnerable and they need either a running 6-card clubs, or a running 5-card plus an ace, to make 1NT. Maybe 2♠ is the percentage bid, I dono, but I would have passed.

P_Marlowe Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hi, One is sure, it does not show a weak handwith long hearts, because with such a hand one could have bid 2H direct over 1 NT.The second sure thing, it cant show a strong hand either, because you would have Xed 1 NT.The third sure thing, the pass over 1 NT denied primary spade support. The only thing left is some kind of secondaryspade support with heart values, some kind ofgame try. With kind regardsMarlowe PS: But playing with GIB, I would pass.

ralph23 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 It's perplexing. All I can imagine is a hand that should have bid 2♥ first time around (weak hand, long ♥) but chose not to, then regretted that decision upon hearing partner rebid ♠. People do this sometimes, but not computer programs. THey don't have feelings of regret (I hope). Marlowe's analysis is logical but I can't make that theory work out either; if responder has enough to try for game in ♠, after hearing opener bid 2♠, doesn't he necessarily have the right hand to double 1NT the first go-round? Values, doubleton spade..... hmmm, sounds like a double to me. So I'm perplexed, still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdano Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 This clearly shows a penalty pass of NT with a side suit in hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Looks like a mini-empathetic splinter. Only other option is a fit non jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Penalty pass on 1NT, computers with feelings of regret, 3♠ asks .... Where's Ken Rexford when we need him most? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I can't imagine this happening with a human partner. It's probably a non-fit non-jump (advance rescue of 2♠ that won't get doubled anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Wow, non-fit non-jump, I'll use that one next time opps click on my simple overcall in an indy and ask for explanation :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
