iamdavej Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 http://tinyurl.com/7rrul3t GIB seemed to have clear double of 3NT contract. On lead with 8 running heart tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyGo Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 You don't want the opps running to a making 5m contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloa513 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Why North doesn't venture 3♥ as give South a tiny bit more its an easy game? such as ♠Axxxxx or even better AQxxxx♥ Jx♦xxx♣xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgi Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Why North doesn't venture 3♥ as give South a tiny bit more its an easy game? such as ♠Axxxxx or even better AQxxxx♥ Jx♦xxx♣xx For GIB, North's 3♥ can't be a contract, but forcing at least to 3NT or somewhere up as 3♣/3♦/3♥ - 17+TP and natural suit which is 5+, so might not expect to get easy fit with 2cards. Also good enough, but not strong enough to try for 4♥ directly. requiring 16+TP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Why didn't North cash the rest of the hearts? Seems like it can never cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I think North assumed South had a slightly better hand for his bid (South's hand doesn't meet GIB's standard for a weak 2), so I suspect in most of its simulations they got the same number of tricks either way. And maybe running all its hearts squeezed South out of a trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
