Bbradley62 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 passing 3♠ seems... well, crazy.Agreed. Fortunately:HSST is about to be removed in the next GIB update. It will be replaced with regular cuebids, showing Aces and afterward kings for the denied Aces suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 that's a shame, I really like the HSST. And with regular cuebid, where 3♠ could for example be a void, this auction could lead to a 0-2 fit :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan2008 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 frankly speaking, i always ignore GIB's help suit slam try... I never take his HSST seriously. Change is ok for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 frankly speaking, i always ignore GIB's help suit slam try... I never take his HSST seriously. Presumably, this is because you've figured out that GIB almost always screws them up, both when he makes them and when he responds to (or passes) them.

georgi Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks for reporting. Actually, there was a bug causing the pass of North. It's fixed for the next version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
