Creeksider Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 This is a minor issue but I thought I'd point it out in case someone wants to correct it. GIB's pop-up description of certain bids that are forcing only when made by a hand that has not previously passed shows them as forcing also when made by a passed hand. For example, a 1NT response to a 1♥ or 1♠ opening is correctly shown as forcing when made by an unpassed hand but incorrectly shown as forcing when responder is a passed hand. Similarly, a raise to 2 in a minor (inverted minor raise) is forcing to 2NT by an unpassed hand but not if responder is a passed hand, and here again the description shows it as forcing in both cases. GIB doesn't necessarily treat these bids as forcing -- I've seen the robot pass as opener after 1♣ - 2♣ -- so this may be an issue only for the descriptions, not the actual bidding behavior.

manudude03 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Some people do still play forcing 1NT even by a passed hand. The GiB assumes sound openings in all seats. Agree that inverted minors should be non-forcing by a PH though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
