Gib simply hates 3NT. So whenever possible, Gib wouldn't bid 3NT. For example, after a 2/1 gf sequence, a latter 3NT bid would show 13 or more HCP in gib's system, which is a huge nonsense IMO. Here, since gib hates 3NT, it would bid 3S instead. The new rule should be that1 in a gf sequence, 3NT doesn't require any extra. 2 gib should never pull partner's 3NT without a good reason, for example, slam possibilities, blabla. 3 when 3NT is a possible good spot, gib should bid it instead of suits.

TimG Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Actually, as confirmed by a thread in the B/I Forum, 3♥ is normal with the first hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
