iandayre Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I have used many uncomplimentary words and phrases to describe GIB's bidding misadventures, but I believe this is the first time that "unfair" has come to mind. http://tinyurl.com/oyr8jnw I actually don't mind the 3S call with GIB's hand, it is sensible. But not when it is described as 3S, 11-12 HCP! I am certainly justified in Blackwood with that description. A simple fix, no programming change needed. Just fix the description.

aguahombre Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 It is a description of North's programmed bidding plan after most expected rebids, apparently. NorthGIB seems to know what to do if opener jump-shifts, just not how to shift gears in the disclosure box. That might not be an easy fix.

steve2005 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 4♠ is 11-12. 3♠ is mere preference. Gib is bidding right but the descriptions are wrong should be easy fix of the descriptions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Is it clear that North prefers spades? If South is 5-5, should he bid 4♥ over 3♠ to show this? On this hand, the 5-3 fit plays better, although I suppose there might be times when the 6-2 does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandayre Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yes opener should rebid 4H with 5-5. You don't want it raising H with 3 since opener may have only 4. The false preference keeps options open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
