jammen Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 76 AQ64 AKT752 Q Red vs White I open one Diamond. With opponents passing throughout partner replies 1 spade. I continue 2 diamonds. It replies 3 clubs. I say 3 hearts and it signs off with a 7-5 three nt. Clubs are 5-1 with hearts and spade king offside so it is 2 down with heart 10 lead. Six spades makes, but AQT9543 is only worth mentioning once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 hand diagram and complete hands pl :rolleyes:Gib isn't good with distributional hands.That said bidding 3♣ is forcing and implies longer spades. Without knowing Gib's hand you can't tell if Gib is being it\s usual brutal self with such hands or being conservative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIB mostly will not hang you when reverse is weakish vrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIB mostly will not hang you when reverse is weakish vrockTrue but nothing says you will get to right spot Gib won't hang you Gib's valuations don't recogniise how powerful a hand 7-5 is. Hand isn't given so while 6♠ makes we don't know if it's a good spot without hand. Once I opened strong 1N and Gib had 8♥5♦ unfortunately I can't remember hand but had 2♥. But Gib should at least have been bidding over 4♥ at a minimum. Really only way for slam to be bid is for Gib to figure out an 8 card suit and 2 voids is good opposite a strong NT.

johnu Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 What is responder's hand? The topic subtitle shows 7=0=0=6 distribution. OP says 7-5 in the first post. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammen Posted November 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I did. And I should have said Gib bid a 7-6 3nt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 From what I have been repeatedly told (and seen), freak distributions are notoriously hard to fix. The other issue is that by their nature they are less common, and therefore lower priority. Still I realize how absurd something like this looks. I hope progress can be made in this general area upcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
