My pass was stupid I guess but I am going to try to blame it all on the robots. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lycier Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 If there is a Ace or void in some side suit,Gib could know cuebid.However if there is K or singleton in some side suit without Ace/ void,Gib don't know cuebid.Of course,this is also a defect of Gib. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Sorry, but this is 100% on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Fair enough. So Gib only cuebids if he happens to have an ace in his 5-8 hcp? It seems like waste of bidding space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Well it's just oldfashioned cuebidding style (first round controls only, second round controls cuebid only after having denied a first-round control). ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandayre Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 GIB would raise to 4H with nothing. 3H shows something. You have a moose and need to move to slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I do need to move to slam (3H shows 5-8 hcp as I said) but do you agree with my main point that a hand with 5-8 hcp should not be constrained to only ever cue aces or voids?
