If Gib ruffs opening should make 3♦.Weve seen Gib pass an unusual 4N, cuebids. Let opponent play 4M when 7m is cold. The list is long.

goffster Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 This bid seems to be a bug in hand evaluation. Surely being at the 3 level at a possibly 4-3 fit can't be betterthan allowing opps play 2S. passing cuebids and unusual 4N seem to be straight out logic bugs.

johnu Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Sadly, this doesn't rate an honorable mention in the list of worst GIB bids. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyunuS Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I've seen much worse. At least it didn't jump to a grand slam because its 3NT got doubled or that kind of bad bid. In fact, if it only ended up down 1 when NV vs VUL undoubled at level 3, then it didn't even end up doing that bad. Also, consider this. If it has 5 spades and the other team has a fit, it can tell that its partner has none. So not only can its partner ruff those but it also has more cards in more of the other suits. I still wouldn't recommend bidding this but it's not that bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goffster Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 If it is possible to do "not so badly" at 3D, I wonder what it is doing to 2S ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
