wbartley Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Everyone vul. GIB held the following hand as North. ♠ T♥ 432♦ K985♣ K8763 I was dealer as South and the bidding went. 1♠=1N=3♦=3♠ The description for the 3♠ bid was 3 ♠; 11-12 total points; forcing This has to be some kind of bug, right?

steve2005 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I believe most people playing 2/1 use 4♠ to show the 3-card limit raise and 3[spades ]is preference. Because Gib plays constructive raises preference could include 3-card support. Is possible Gib has switched meanings because it uses constructive raises.

That's fine but the fact remains that GIB preferred spades with a singleton over diamonds holding four card support. The fact that it announced that it had three spades when it only had one is incidental but might shed light on what's wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Looks like a clearcut bug to me, I can replicate it on a bidding table too. Not sure why GIB wouldn't bid 4♦, as its hand matches that description perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
