North: Q8 QT3 T962 A976

East: J5 K J843 KQT842

South: AT976 A87654 A 3

West: K432 J92 KQ75 J5

 

The Auction:

West North East South

____ Pass Pass 1

Pass 1 1 2

Pass 2 2 3

3 3NT Pass Pass

Pass

 

Okay, the auction wasn't great. 8 lead by East.

E8 S3 WJ NA

N3 EK SA W2

S8 W9 NQ E4

The problem here is that East played the King on the first diamond.

Holding KJ the proper play on the first round is the Jack,

so North has a "proven" finesse against West for the Jack

on the second round.

Read the thread and post the hand.

That's different. West could have ducked with Kx, trying to get an extra undertrick if declarer started with a doubleton. In general, GIB doesn't assume that just because a finesse worked the first time, it will work the next time. Of course, what the GIB declarer doesn't know is that a GIB defender will never duck like this, because it bases its defense on double dummy analysis, so it thinks declarer will play the Ace next time.

 

But there's unlikely to be a reason in the original hand for the defender to play K from KJ, unless it needs to avoid being end-played.

Here's another one, at matchpoints, with a basic bot:

This one was interesting so I dug ( then scratched my head, then asked around for help )

 

The basic bot uses the weaker of GIB's two internal play-card engines ( bec. this engine is faster ). This engine simply deals out the enemy cards and takes the best DD action based on the form of scoring. It isn't smart about some things like this. It simply recognizes that an original Kx with north occurs more frequently than Kxx or Kxxx with south in the sample deals it uses to decide what to play for.
