Bbradley62 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) And, it's silly absurd to say that (according to the provided description) this bid requires a suit that's "twice rebiddable". (In GIBberish means 7-card suit, or 6 including 3 of the top 5.) Edited August 16, 2014 by Bbradley62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Apparently Gib hasn't read M Lawence's book on overcalls lol. overcalling at 2-level on list of never do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tu Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 nitpick. This is called a "free bid", not an overcall. Overcall is by the side that doesn't opening the bidding. Agree doing it on 4 cards at 2 level should be barred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgi Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thanks for reporting. This has been fixed in next version v31. I think there was similar post earlier. But anyway, GIB will pass with that hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 What about the "twice rebiddable" description? Can that be lowered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgi Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Yeah. Now would say: Two-level overcall -- 5+ ♥; 10+ HCP; 18- total points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
