zhasbeen Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 The only players that got to NT slam on this hand opened 2C and rebid 2NT, showing 22-24 hcp. Two players got to diamond slam buy opening 2C, then launching into Blackwood after 2D response.One player got to 7 by opening 2C, rebidding 2NT, then exploring spade fit.The 6 players who opened 3NT showing 25-27 hcp got to play it there.If you look at the hand you will see that it has 28 hcp. I reasoned that if 2C-2D-2N showed 22-24 and opening 3NT shows 25-27, that 2C-2D-3NT would show more than 27 Hcp.I was also left in game and was the only player to bid it that way. The definition says 25-27, same as opening 3NT. I'm done trying to get handviewer and tinyurl in sync. I took the hv bracket thing, tinyurl link from hand records, and the www.bridgebase line and tried to past them between hv brackets. Nuthin' doing. I don't mind doing the manual handviewer at all, and just pasting tinyurl above it. It's only takes a mouse click to see the play-by-play and definitions.While I'm at it, I've tried everything to claim hands. I tried waiting after I'd won a trick and card still lying on the table, to claim. I get the popup asking me to confirm that I want to concede the rest of of the tricks, even if I have 6 cards left that are AKQ, AKQ. An exaggeration of course, but it's almost that extreme. http://tinyurl.com/y7s7rncv [hv=pc=n&s=sakq6hakdaq5caq72&w=s7hqjt98542d7c843&n=st942h3dkt9842ct6&e=sj853h76dj63ckj95&d=s&v=0&b=7&a=2cp2dp3nppp]399|300[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 It's not very productive, but GIB plays that 2C-2D-4NT as showing 28-30 HCP. I do agree it is stupid there are 2 ways to show 25-27 though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I do agree it is stupid there are 2 ways to show 25-27 though." If that's stupid, how about driving to slam with 22-24 and dropping the other 2 at 3NT? With either of the first 2 options you'v done everything you can to describe your hand but are not even given a chance at reaching slam. No problem if you show a lesser hand. The only advantage of showing of showing 25-27 is that you can't be dropped at 2. I haven't filed the bug report yet but will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 nice pass by west Gib with 8♥ lol. It obviously pays not to interfere when other Gibs bidding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing isn't it, that we didn't hear a peep out of him considering some of the hands he jumps in there with? Pretty freaky place this robot world.

Now whether GIBBO should bid 6D is another matter. Or even 5D. I would bid 5D and hope GIBBO bids 6D. Unless 5D is some weird transfer. vrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
