pigpenz Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 now my understanding of GIBis new suits are forcing for one round, unless only majors are non forcing....this auction is one that seems tocome up with novices unless you are playing it as non forcing. I have since i first started playing in 70's always thought it was 100% forcing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbradley62 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Can you bid 2NT as both minors at the second bid or is it still 15-17 NT?It would be a standard no trump overcall, maybe a point or two sttronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennaeire Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 i If you use Unusual 2NT, Direct jump to 2NT over an opponent’s opening or overcalling bid, to show the two lowest-ranking unbid suits with at least 5 cards in each suit. no HCP required Is this correct?

Over a weak two it would be natural with stopper, 16-19 or some similar range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbartley Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 Are you saying that the robot bids differently when it has a robot partner? Because in OP's example, the robot passed its partner's 2S bid.
