steve2005 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Description of N's 4♦ 4+♦ 11+ hcp has 2♦ and 7♥ so something went wrong Your 3♣ is not good, you have a min with 1 4-card major you should bid ♠ so you don't end up in a 4-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandayre Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 4D?? Another candidate for the strangest bid ever made by GIB. Why can't it just jump to 4H over the double? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 4D?? Another candidate for the strangest bid ever made by GIB. Why can't it just jump to 4H over the double? There are so many inexplicable bids that GIB makes it's hard to keep track of them all. My favorite was when I opened 1♣ with a 5 card club suit and 13 count, LHO overcalled 1♠, and GIB made a negative double with 8 card club support. I was stunned when I gave a sluff-ruff on the opening lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I think that there is a case for saying that the North hand is too strong for an immediate 4H over the double, and risk of missing slam. That does not excuse the 4D bid, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasetb Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 It's ridiculous that GIB bids that way, but at least we now have an idea of what it actually has, based off of these two hands. When the auction goes (1m) - X - 2m ; 3m - 4om, 4om is a transfer to Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the auction goes (1m) - X - 2m ; 3m - 4om, 4om is a transfer to Hearts. That's all fine but if the description isn't corrected it wont help most people. And what is just bidding 4♥ does that show ♠? Also what if your fit is in the other minor, is there any way to play in that suit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
