But feel free to say if you would bid differently at a different scoring. Edit: Just to clarify, it was Total Points scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Presummably this MPs. Generally at IMPs partners who act over unilateral actions should be removed to the backyard and promptly shot. Not immediately shot because it is messier. ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Notice that Pooltuna did not abstain. I agree 100% with both his post and his vote. I won't try to unbury us from this mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Not sure how messy can be to shoot a GIB :) Best Hand is Total Points (actually most robot tourneys are "best hand style" but a tournament named Best Hand exists and it's TP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 best thing I can think of is partner has ♠A, ♦K and ♥K. With perhaps another black king or add or a diamond honnor. 6NT will be great on a diamond lead, but on a club lead we will wish we were playing 7♥ rather wich is at least equal. I voted for pass, but I think I voted too fast, I think 7♥ is better. EDIT: now I see that its a GIB hand, so my logic was a waste of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I bet if you had hovered over the 6♥ call before making it the explanation would have been something like "33+ HCP rebiddable hearts." I guarantee that if you pass 6NT you will be down about 6. But bidding 7♥ may result in GIB bidding 7NT, because the explanation for 7♥ will probably be something like "37+ HCP twice rebiddable hearts." :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 6NT??? oh well... I have no clue what's going on. I'm passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Knowing GIB, if you bid 7♥ he'll bid 7NT for sure. A long time ago I had an auction after a super accept misclick all the way up to 7♥: 1NT-2♦-3♦-4♦-4♥-5♦-5♥-6♦-6♥-7♦-7♥-p (3♦ apparently showed 5+♦ and denied a ♥ fit I guess :blink: ).

gwnn Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Maybe if I bid 7♣ I have a non-zero chance of playing something other than NT? I'm not passing, there is just something in me that rejects passing a contract that is known to go down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Gibs hand was Axxx x AKxx xxxx (forgot to save hand :(), singleton ♥K onside. I bid 7H (passed out) which made when West led diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
