goffster Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 http://tinyurl.com/p46r9gv Why is gib preferring to bid clubs over spades? This does nothing to help find the best game. 4S is 100% better than 4C. Even 3S is better than 4C. 4C is simply a pointless bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tu Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Looks like you're new here. We've been complaining about this for years. Don't know why it isn't higher priority in relationship to other stuff they've fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 GIB V28 is here: Main Changes:<snip>GIB will now show major first with 4M-5m in response to partner's balancing double at 3rd level or higher. I guess this should also apply when responding to partner's direct takeout double. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 why not also at 2 level? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I guess this should also apply when responding to partner's direct takeout double. it should cuebid and correct 4h to 4s to show spades and clubs rather than punting game in a 4 card suit.

Stephen Tu Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 why not also at 2 level? why not also at the 1 level? and with 4-6 shape? If it wants to suppress the 4cd major with 4-7, then OK I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 At the 1-level with 4-6 shape I can live with showing the 6 carder, in the expectation that the auction is unlikely to die there and I should get a chance to show both, and then more descriptively.

I don't know about this. If something like 1R-x-p-2c, I think it's not unlikely to go all pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgi Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks for reporting. I hope this issue is fixed. At least cannot be replicated now and major comes first. Both hands in question are bidding now 3M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I regreted my double,I should bid 3♠ instead of double. Your double is correct. Bidding 3♠ should show some sort of monster 6-5 hand. Though I expect Gib probably has it as 5-4 with 23 pts which should still be a nice double in imho.

cherdano Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 it should cuebid and correct 4h to 4s to show spades and clubs rather than punting game in a 4 card suit.Playing with you it should, but playing with 98% of GIB's partners it shouldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
