iandayre Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 xxx, KQx, xxxx, QTx The auction with opps silent: 2C, 2D, 2S, 3S, 4C, 4NT, 5S (all 5 plus the Q), 5NT, 6S (no side K's) - 7S?? Probably I don't understand simulations well but I can't imagine why it would think a grand slam was good missing both minor Kings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Gib doesn't understand the concept of Captaincy, the big hand will normally be much better off making the decision between grand slam and small slam. Getting an answer of 5 KC plus Q trump is ridiculous. The exception to the rule is if the weaker hand has a source of tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Agreed, but that's a different problem, Steve... When the weak hand takes control, you're more likely to fail to get as high as you should be, because the weaker hand doesn't what all the necessary information (about the stronger hand's trick-taking ability). In this case, the hand in charge had all the information and just did something dumb and bid to a level that it should have known was too high.

steve2005 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Gib should cuebid 4♥ to show K not take over and bidding 4N. But Gib doesn't cuebid Kings another flaw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
