I wasn't really sure, but slam seemed very likely and I thought I'd hedge my bets by allowing GIB to pick a suit. GIBs default is to pass if it doesn't know what to do, despite the description being forcing. Perhaps it should default to something else.

neilkaz Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 So GIB's description is that 5♥ is forcing to 5N and shows two or fewer ♥. How can it pass then. At least it must be made to realize that it can punt the ball back being forced to 5NT! Such a shame that these things can't be made to bid better and at least be forced when its explanation is forcing and it clearly is leaving PD in a joke contract!

steve2005 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 According to Gibs reckoning partnerships has 33 pts so why didn't Gib bid slam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
