steve2005 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Bid is bizarre. West already showed 5♠ with 1♠ bid. Partner is 3rd seat opening if East can't bid 4♠ West shouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 I wonder what doubling 3♣ or bidding 4♣ means in Gibberish. You could make an argument that showing 7 decent clubs in a 7-4-1-1 hand is a desirable goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhasbeen Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 I don't know if I could say several, but at least a few times GIB has left me in a 5-1 fit. I happened to have 6 spades on this hand but my bid didn't promise it. How about that 3H call along the way. http://tinyurl.com/ybqp3bvc[hv=pc=n&s=saq9875h32dcaqt53&n=s4ha954dk8542ckj2&d=w&v=b&b=4&a=2dpp2sp3hp4cp4sppp]266|200[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 I don't know if I could say several, but at least a few times GIB has left me in a 5-1 fit. I happened to have 6 spades on this hand but my bid didn't promise it. How about that 3H call along the way. Surely the real problem here is that 3H call? I see some things to admire in his 4S which does indeed make. He knows about the clubs fit, your spades are likely to be 6 cards after all and after that 2D opening he knows you have no diamonds and that the missing trump honours are going to be in East.

Jyrki_63 Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 More in the same vein. Yesterday GIB insisted on playing in hearts with its 2-card support instead of a less disaster prone 64 fit in clubs. My link 5C makes unless the bad guys find their heart ruff. 5H didn't score well :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
