0-20 total points? Could we be a bit more specific?

Also another example of the infamous 29-30 total points shown by bidding 5♣ opposite a possible yarb. And I guess that 12HCP is not enough to raise to 6♣ opposite that supposed monster.

Heh. 4C is normally NF in my book. Bit risky to do that with 20 TP

LOL yes. But OTHO, raising 5♣ to 6 is known as the futile Willy syndrome. You make a limit bid and when partner raises to game you bid on ... my impression is that GIB doesn't do this so often anymore.

cuebid of 4♥ might work out well. usually Gib like to do that.

Another stealth revision?? Experience says that surely GIB would have raised 5C to 6 in the past, and probably on less. But it is certainly baffling why it prefers the minor to the major.
