semeai Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 The problem appears to be that GiB thought your splinter showed 22+ total points, and even then bid crazily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semeai Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 question what did GIB expect the 5 ♥ to be It's GiB's attempt at the standard "jump to 5 of a major" showing doubt about trumps. Notice it says it has 5 or fewer "8421" points in hearts, meaning A=8, K=4, Q=2, J=1, so at best ♥KJ. It's claiming the side suits are secure (fat chance on this hand) and asking you to evaluate your trump holding. Your raise to 6 with one honor seems normal.

Of course, 3♦ would be a perfectly good splinter too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
