ochinko Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Seriously, why do I bring the worst in the bot? Whenever it has some number of clubs, and sees me accross the table, it has to go for the grand. It doesn't matter to it that my hand is limited, nor does it matter what its own strength is. http://tinyurl.com/k892y46 http://tinyurl.com/mj7pl5f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 On the second hand, your 3H bid does not show Hearts but rather 4+ Club support and doubleton Spade. Not saying that the subsequent bids are reasonable in light of that, but it may explain one or two things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gib blew a gasket on this one if it thinks it can make 6♣ opposite a 2N rebid nevermind 7♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 When you semi-psych a 2NT rebid on the 1st hand, bad things can happen. You may never get to show a solid 6 card major, and then when GIB shows that clubs has to be trump, you compound the problem by bidding 6NT. Playing with a decent human player, this should end the auction, but once GIB decides what suit should be trump, you will never win the bidding war short of the 7 level. I don't remember if there was a fix for GIB running from 3NT, but if there was, it probably didn't make it to running from 6NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 On the first hand, the huge strength range (9-18 total points) of 6♣ is absurd. Shouldn't some of that be eliminated due to North's failure to bid 3♣ over 2♣? I presume that description should also include 4H, since North bid Stayman then denied spades. Maybe GIB doesn't like rubbing salt in the wounds, but how did these contracts not get doubled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this wasn't about the actual hands that I had, more for the hands that I advertised to have. Both of my hands stated that I had no void or singleton, and defined my strength very tightly. Of all the bids that the bot could here, it heard the least exciting ones, yet it got excited beyond any reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
