peachy Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 GIB explanation* makes no sense. In the following auction, my 4H bid was explained as 4+ clubs, 4- hearts, 2- spades, probable two stops in h. The 3C** bid was explained as twice rebiddable clubs. Not sure how, or if, I confused the robot. GIB1 Me GIB2 GIB31S Dbl P 3C**P 4H* P 5CP 5S P 6Cgrazillion down My hand AJ-AQ10xxxxx-Ax-x (pretty sure this was it)My GIB's hand x-Kxx-10xxx-KJxxx Anyway, GIB needs to learn that 4H in the given auction shows long strong hearts and a hand too good to make simple overcall. Fixable bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 isn't 3H forcing in that auction? not saying gib's interpretation makes any sense but maybe that would have confused him less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I think it makes sense to play 4♥ here as showing some kind of trial for 6♣. With hearts you just bid 3♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on whether that is GIBs "system" or, the explanation is in error. I wasn't even sure GIB wasn't passing 3H...if it thought that cuebid is the only force after takeout double. So many weird things with it happening lately, or maybe I just have been playing more with GIBs and the odds are on that I see bugs or weird things more....

JoAnneM Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I have learned (the hard way) that GIB does not recognise "double and bid". It is going to bid its suit that it "thinks" you have a fit in until it runs out of bidding space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
