Lord Molyb Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 According to a few simulations I did, east passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks. I couldn't answer the question, because all 9 human Souths in this tourney bid over 2NT, and ended up playing either 3♥ doubled or 4♥ undoubled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandayre Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Perhaps GIB is constrained by some foolish point count requirement from bidding 3C. I have to wonder how that call would be described. I had a similar hand recently where I was the beneficiary of GIB's poor bidding. GIB W had 5215 shape, 1S by N, 2S by E, Dbl by S (me) West bid 2NT similarly to this hand, it went P, 3D (what else), Double by me, PASS. It wouldn't even prefer to 3H. 3DX went for 1400. 3H will also be doubled and defeated but will do 2-3 tricks better. We haven't heard from Georgi for a while. I can't wait to hear his explanation as to why GIB E bid 2NT rather than 3C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
