The_Badger Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 My personal view. I would have passed 1NT by GIB. Your hand might be 14 count, but its a pretty pathetic 14 count with its lack of intermediates and shape. Except if you get a lucky break with ♥s 3-3 and the Q on a finesse, it's going to be a struggle to get 3NT to make, and as GIB only guarantees a minimum of 9+ I rather play the odds and miss a vulnerable game now and again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi LBAgree. However my concern is the 3D bid. The 2NT. Risky behavior - yes. GIBBO does wonders in play when most HCP are marked. thanksvrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
