fuburules3 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 http://tinyurl.com/7omv5sh How should this be bid in GIB? I think in real life I would rebid 3S, but I've been told GIB does not know what to make of this. I personally think GIB should not bid 5H even with a spade void here.

nathan2008 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 don't complain too much on GIB:). everyone is suffering the same problem. If it is "best hand" style, i will 100% open 4s. too many losers for 6. If u really want to bid with GIB, i suggest u bid 1s-4s. Don't open 2c..... GIB can "think" he might have slam after 2c open. Everyone meets this kind of hands with GIB every day, only u complain lol. As you are so clever, i am sure u can find a solution:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone meets this kind of hands with GIB every day, only u complain lol. As you are so clever, i am sure u can find a solution:). The point of the forum is to post hands that the developers can use to improve GIB. If I come across as complaining, I apologize as being a developer for GIB seems to be a thankless task and I'm largely happy with the end product (there is no forum to post hands where you have a normal, smooth auction with GIB!). As far as the hand in question, in my opinion opening 4S is not "real" bridge as we could easily miss a slam. I'm fine if GIB "thinks" we have a slam after 2C, because we very well could. In any event, in general I try to bid as normally as possible with GIB (because I find playing this way most enjoyable). In this sequence, I think when I bid spades for the third time, it should show spades I am willing to play opposite a void. It seems if I bid 4S instead of 3S the second time, GIB is willing to pass. I think GIB should be just as willing to pass in the auction I posted and the definition of 4S could be tweaked to show a stronger suit (if I had hearts and an unwillingness to play in spades opposite a void, I could bid hearts!).

steve2005 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I think introducing a 4 card ♣ to the 9 is counter productive on GIB's part. 3NT instead of 4♣ would be better IMHO. 3NT could be last making game and should not go past without good values.going slamming with 5♥ when GIB is void in ♠ is just asking for a bad board opening 2♣ is OK, as you could miss game with a little as a minor suit King and a small trump (2 even better chances)opening 4♠ will miss a good slam on as little as AK♦ or K♣ and A or K♦ and 3 small ♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
