1- Gib N should overcall 2♦ instead of balancing overcall.

2- Strangely, my double says " 1♥,10+hcp,biddable ♦,10-TPs".

I think it is impossible :

If only singleton of ♥,I should respond 1nt,never raise to 2♥.

If I have 10+hcp with 3-card ♥,I should respond 2♣ - Drury while Gib W opens 1♥ in the 3rd seat.

So the correct explanations of my double is "3-4♥,10-hcp,biddable ♦,10-TPs".

 

P.S.

Please refer to others's hands in the same time.

Now we can draw the following conclusions:

1- Almost of Gibs made balancing overcall except Hand-G.And Gib never overcall 2♦,why?

2- After 3♦,Gib never make penalty double,why?

3-Why did Gib N make passing bid instead of balancing overcall in the Hand-G ? Only exception.

[Bbradley62]

See the responses in the many other threads in which you asked why GIB doesn't behave consistently at different tables in MBC.

[Bbradley62]

But, the explanation of the pass is bizarre. Doesn't P-1♥-2♥-P mean the same thing as 1♥-2♥-P? The explanation shouldn't say anything about "third hand", and it doesn't deserve an explanation in one sequence if it doesn't get one in the other.

[Bbradley62]

It's also weird that this was so frequently hand 6.

[1eyedjack]

1- Gib N should overcall 2♦ instead of balancing overcall.

With this I disagree.

[iandayre]

With this I disagree.

 

While I certainly see your point, with favorable vulnerability and given that 2D takes up maximum room over the 1H opener, I would overcall.
