smerriman Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 If you search the forum for 'bar bid', you'll find several complaints from 2015 and earlier about the fact GIB would make this bid with just 5 clubs and that it needed to be changed to 6. In June 2015, GIB was updated accordingly: GIB still plays that an auction like 1♦ - 1♠ - 1N - 3♣ is a signoff in clubs, but now it shows 6+ instead of 5+, and the range was corrected as well. The following hand just popped up in a challenge: [hv=http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?sn=Robot&s=SA82HAK763DK42CT3&wn=Robot&w=SK65HT4DJT975CAK7&nn=smerriman&n=SQJ94HQD863C98642&en=Robot&e=ST73HJ9852DAQCQJ5&d=e&v=n&b=2&a=P1H(Major%20suit%20opening%20--%205+%20%21H%3B%2011-21%20HCP%3B%2012-22%20total%20points)P1S(One%20over%20one%20--%204+%20%21S%3B%206+%20total%20points)P1N(2-3%20%21C%3B%202-3%20%21D%3B%205%20%21H%3B%202-3%20%21S%3B%2012-14%20HCP)P3C(Bar%20bid%3B%20long%201%20--%206+%20%21C%3B%204+%20%21S%3B%206%20total%20points)PPP&p=DAD2D5D3S7SAS5S4H3HTHQH2D6DQDKD7HAH4D8H5HKC7S9HJDJC2C5D4H9H6D9C4SJS3S2SKS6SQSTS8C6CQCTCADTC8CJH7H8C3CKC9]400|300[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
