nathan2008 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 That is a common problem. We all expect that 4H/S in this case shows 16+ total points instead of 25..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloa513 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 You do have 25 total points - its the sloppy programming that makes total points into high card points that is at fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levier17 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 What you both say is true but I believe, the more important problem here is the 6N bid instead of 6S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I have seen this occur a number of times. For some reason, there are a lot of bids (especially jumps to game or slam) that GIB plays as showing 25+ HCP or 30+ HCP and, since it assumes that you have those values, it bids accordingly. I have also seen many penalty doubles by GIB holding virtually no defense (sometimes a zero count 4333) because you have shown a big hand. The fact that you would double if you hold the big hand that you advertised does not appear to "occur" to GIB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
