Blurbs gone berserk. Could the intelligentsia reproduce this hand and list the blurb possibilities after 1S please.

4NT 6+, 5NT 6+, 2S 6+ points, 3H invitational I think.

I just jumped to 6. F-it! Fortunately it made.

I did not jump-shift since had spades as well.

4NT should clearly be RKC in hearts since hearts have been bid and supported.

You can't have checked all of the options - 3♠ says 5+ ♥, 13+ total points, forcing to 4♥. Not sure I would have predicted that in advance, but at least it seems to do what you want and let you use Blackwood next.

 

As least the roles weren't reversed - when GIB bids with itself, it passes out 1♠ :D Not too surprising though, these types of hands can be hard for human partnerships to bid, let alone a robot. Given the number of much more common bugs, I don't think crazy hands like this are really something that should be looked into.

Quite possible I did not explore 3S. 2S was 6+ LOL. I might have tried some splinters all 6+.

oh well!

Are you sure 2s was 6+? I tried at bidding table and it said 2s was invitational 5+h, with 3s as smerriman said.

 

4nt directly is broken. 2s probably should be some generic force instead of heart game try IMO. 3h was blocking with 6 hearts, probably that one should be the invite call instead. 3s+ ought to be splinters but aren't.

I meant 6+ "points". Tough to remember all the options. I do remember for sure 4NT was 6+ points. I don't remember length. Most of what I looked at seemed to 6+ points. I don't remember if I tried 3S.
