awm Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 [hv=pc=n&s=saj5hkj8432dqcaq7&n=s874ha9dak53ckjt2&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=p1hp2cp2hp3cp4np5cp7cppp]266|200[/hv] The 3♣ bid seems like an interesting choice. GIB describes as "13+ HCP; rebiddable ♣; 14+ total points; forcing to 3NT" I guess "rebiddable" means something different to GIB than it does to me. I was expecting a six-card suit here (maybe five in a real pinch). The grand slam did not fare well when trumps were 5-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 GIB endplayed itself by bidding 2♣ without being programmed to bid 2NT with no spade stopper or raise hearts. Rebidding clubs was probably higher priority in the programming than rebidding 3♦. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebidding clubs was probably higher priority in the programming than rebidding 3♦.I admit being endplayed is a nasty thing ;) yet I believe GIB should stop rebidding 4-card suits. Just a few days ago I encountered a similar problem which I posted here: http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/topic/72126-how-to-deal-with-this/ In that case robot rebid a suit with a bid labed "5+ cards" but it had only Txxx. This ended up with the majority of players playing that suit in a 4-2 fit going down 4 or 5. Alternatively GIB could have bid the 4th suit or passed.

cloa513 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 2♦ and then 3 ♣ bids would less of a lie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
