manudude03 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Welcome to the forums. We have a section in the forums dedicated to GIB hands. Here, North has a marginal invite. Some would do it, some wouldn't. GIB tends to invite very soundly and judged that hand wasn't an invite. Notice here you have a 17 count with a fit and a ruffing value, and 4S could still easily be down on a club ruff, and that is assuming you get the spades right.

MrAce Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 If you think this is a sign of craziness by GIB then I say you haven't seen anything yet! http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgosrock Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 What you think about GIB bidding ? marginal 4S I think. Plus GIBBO normally passes 8 hcp hands unless has 5431 shape i.e. the 4 is a major and 5 is a minor.I say marginal since 3 club losers, find sQ, and 1 heart loser. even if find sq i see 5 spade tricks, 3D and 1H.fraught with peril. vrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloa513 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 What you think about GIB bidding ? Your hand is too strong for a 1 NT opening- it is really 18 HCP. Open 1 NT at your peril. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Your hand is too strong for a 1 NT opening- it is really 18 HCP. Open 1 NT at your peril.K&R evaluator http://www.jeff-goldsmith.org/cgi-bin/knr.cgiK&R (A832 AJ Q842 AQ9) = 16.35These are soft values 1N is fine.You may want to upgrade to a 2N rebid as many people do purposely overbid NT hands with Gib but that is up to you.
