Karen10 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 In an instant tourney, the bidding went:1 ♣-1♥-pass-2♣X-pass-2♠-pass-4♠The 2♠ bid by GIB was alerted as 3- clubs, 4+ spades, 11+ total points. Surprise, this was his hand: s 98643 h 732 d Q83 c 106True, I only have 10 fingers to count, but.... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I object more to the description than to the bid of 2♠. Another instance of GIB (in description only, this time) not taking into account a prior pass when determining the meaning of a bid. If North had held 4+S and 11+ points, he would not have passed after 1♥.[hv=lin=pn|Karen10,~~M61946ro,~~M6353kt4,~~M9660l05|st%7C%7Cmd%7C1S7TJAH8TD4AC57JKA%2CS25QH459KAD2579TC%2CS34689H237D38QC6T%2C%7Crh%7C%7Cah%7CBoard%203%7Csv%7Ce%7Cmb%7C1C%7Can%7CMinor%20suit%20opening%20--%203%2B%20%21C%3B%2011-21%20HCP%3B%20%7Cmb%7C1H%7Can%7COne-level%20overcall%20--%205%2B%20%21H%3B%208-17%20HCP%3B%209-19%20total%20points%20%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C2C%7Can%7CGood%20support%20in%20H%20--%203%2B%20%21H%3B%2010%2B%20total%20points%20%7Cmb%7Cd%7Can%7C11-21%20HCP%3B%20rebiddable%20%21C%3B%20%21CKQ%3B%2012-22%20to%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C2S%7Can%7C3-%20%21C%3B%204%2B%20%21S%3B%2011%2B%20total%20points%20%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C4S%7Can%7C4%2B%20%21S%3B%2011-21%20HCP%3B%20rebiddable%20%21C%3B%20%21CKQ%3B%201%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cpc%7C]360|270[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnu Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Total points, so add distribution points. 5 for a doubleton, 1 for each tripleton, 2 for the 5th spade, 2 for the ♦Q. Adds up to 11 :D On the other hand, this may be another glitch in the description algorithm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 It has a perfect strong nt, balanced hand with 15 low card points. I suspect it's just a description bug though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandayre Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Definitely a description bug. One you should catch, as a minimum response to a takeout double can't possibly promise any values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 But it's not. The opponents are in a doubled cue bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
