Yu18772 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Because its GIB, and this is not going to be your last disappointment. On the other hand you can browse over the bid before you make it, and it will show what GIB will think you have. The robot deviates from the explanations sometimes (and it only been for the worst for me), but at least you can browse over several and choose the least of evil. http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 The 4♠ isn't in GIB's bidding database, so it ends up being treated as just like a natural overcall. The bid that shows that hand is double followed by 3♠ (and if GIB were sitting South, it would double and bid 2♠). However, that doesn't actually solve the problem. GIB still thinks that the doubler has 3-4 cards in the other suits, so it bid 4♥. And if you then bid 4♠, it bids 4NT, but it means it as Blackwood for hearts, not spades. GIB still doesn't really understand doubling and bidding a suit very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloa513 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I wonder will it let you bid X then 3NT which actually the contract that makes if they lead a diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 No, if you bid 2NT or 3NT, it will still try to correct to hearts. This is something we need to work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
