Do GIBS have a mind of their own?

[johnjo42]

The other day I was playing in the main club with 3 GIB robots.

 

At my table the bidding was as follows (dealer East).

 

W N E S (Me)

- - 1S 2H

PASS 2NT PASS 4H

ALL PASS

 

I made 10 tricks.

 

At every other table (all playing against 3 GIBS) the bidding began (1S) 2H but the GIB sitting North passed and the contract was 2H.

 

My question is why did my partner choose to bid 2NT whereas all the other robots passed?

 

Do GIBS bid randomly or did mine trust my bidding?

I didn't find you hand in the bbo hand records.

Can you give us your hand link?

Bbradley62 knows the exact reasons.he would help answer it.

Non-tourney, MBC, different versions of GIB at different tables. I speculate that those tables that shared the same result were using the same version of GIB

 

There are at least 3 versions from which to choose: Server Basic GIB, Server Advanced GIB, and Windows download version (of which there may be more than one but I cannot confirm that).

...Windows download version (of which there may be more than one but I cannot confirm that).

 

There should be more for the downloadable version, depends on the settings chosen by each user (they can choose robot speed, from fast to slow, where slowest = smartest).
