neuralsim Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I experienced the following sequence with the wonderful GIB yesterday during a bingo match. I opened 2NT. GIB: 3C Me: 3D Gib: 4D ???? The GIB had 5 diamonds and 5 hearts, but still, I'm pretty sure that's a bug. I only had 2 diamonds in hand and we lost a part-score contract that easily could have gone 3nt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think i mind the bidding on this one Lol, lesson learned, never misdescribe a hand, because the admin has access to the DB. So you don't think it's a bug? If my p IRL ever did that I think I would call the cops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Most RL players would bid 3NT, and go down when the opps roll off the first 5 spades, but it's kind of unlucky that the 2NT bidder's spades are so poor -- they could be AQx. The problem wasn't the 4{DI] bid, but pulling 5♣ to 5♦. But the description of 5♣ doesn't say that it shows a real ♣ suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably I woulda opened 2c IRL, anyway, but this is bingo... I'm sure I had my reasons. Okay, I withdraw the accusation of software failure.

barmar Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 2♣ with a balanced 20 count? And even if you did, the auction would have started 2♣-2♦-2NT, and the rest of the auction would probably be been the same (unless the bot decides that the stronger opening means that it should go to slam).

Somehow last night I managed to count an extra 3. Hope springs eternal, I suppose... My excuse is that I was sick, tired, and hopped up on prescription cough syrup.
