fuburules3 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 It seems much more reasonable (especially when GIB is a passed hand) to play a jump cue here as stopper asking, than showing 25+ points. http://tinyurl.com/7yjdtqj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 That's the first time I've seen a sensible GIB punt (well, sensible opposite what it thinks 3S means). But yes, this is a silly bit of system. Wonder where it gets 25+ points from (why not just X first if you had that). ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigpenz Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 looks a little more like a west coast que bid asking for 3NT, but got 6NT instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyunuS Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I think it's that way since you can double and then rebid 2♠ and then it will bid NT if it has a stopper, so there is still a reasonable way you can ask for one. The system requires your bid to be 25+ pts since you force your team to at least 3NT, which is not really a safe place to be stuck bidding at if you have fewer when it might have 0. But, it is true that most players would figure they don't have 6NT if an opponent has an opening hand, but GIB really does assume you have 25+ pts. And it's also strange that west did not double 6NT when it's almost impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
