If the 4 cuebid is supposed to show first-round control, GIB should not be making that bid with the given hand. If it's supposed to show first- or second-round control, the description should be corrected.

Gotta to love that 3 bid- totally insane.

lol yeah. He decided it is too risky opening 3 vul with his balanced hand and not so good suit. Yet he decides it's OK to walk into a live GF auction, still vul, still not so good suit, and still balanced!

I agree with both of you.

 

Does GIB use Italian cue bidding (ambiguous 1st/2nd round controls)?

Its supposed to moving to that in the next update according to Barmar. Whether its only ace controls or ace/void controls or any controls is unclear. You mean semi-ambiguous. Most likely this is a cue bid erroneously explained. Why they can't do quality control is beyond me- e.g. post a link on this forum to webpage with lots of automatically produced bidding and we pick out any errors on the beta-version of the new GIB version for fixes.
