Blurb says GIBBO's x is 20-21 hcp and 22+ total points. What are total points anyways? This time has Jxxx in opps suit.

 

Can we not change GIBBO's such doubles to say highly invitational to game in agreed suit/last bid suit instead of these HUGE HCP which are almost always wrong? or even simpler takeout perhaps in agreed suit unless something in defense?

In this case would be takeout into clubs unless you have solid defense.

You will have to change tons of them! Often at high level you have a choice make the right bid and show massive hand or pass and possibly take a bottom.

There are a lot of bids like that and not just doubles.

I was ONLY talking about GIBBO doubles of the type I have posted OFTEN.

total points my guess. void = 5. single = 3. double = 1. long cards over 4 = +1 evry card

 

♠kjt ♥j865 ♦- ♣akqjt3 = 15hcp + 5 void + 2 ♣ suit = 22

Even if you restricted to just those it still would be a very large number as this is not on the first round of bidding.
