fuburules3 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 http://tinyurl.com/7zr9mxj It would seem better if GIB bid NT at some point in the auction, but perhaps GIB can't bid 2NT for a systemic reason over 2S (or 1NT over 1D). Given the 3D how can I get GIB to bid 3NT (ignoring the fact that it goes down on this hand) with a heart stopper? 3S seems like wrong bid, but I think 3H shows something in hearts (correct me if I'm wrong) and 3NT shows stopper. Also, having 3S shows 4 diamonds and 4+ spades seems like a bad description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigpenz Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 the inverted sequence if only forcing to 2NTso passing 3♦ is probably best choice GIB also may think your bidding a 6-5 hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 As being discussed in this thread, GIB's rules currently require 13+ HCP for responder to bid 2NT over 2♠, as well as stoppers in both unbid suits. I think that's wrong, and we're waiting for Georgi to explain why this was done in the inverted minor update in v22. And it can't bid 3♥ to show the stoppers there, because bypassing 3♦ is also forcing to game (that's standard, not just GIB). No game makes on this hand. 3NT should be down 2.
