TylerE Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 This sort of thing is just on my last nerve... My pass of 5♦ - X was described as showing exactly "2nd round control in ♦ - King or Singleton". So in what universe is GIB bidding 7!C holding ♦xx? Another $1.25 down the drain. Dunno why I still bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tu Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Sure 7c is nuts, but why are you tempting fate by passing 5d-x in what surely is a not well defined, common auction? You always want to be in 6c, so why don't you just bid it instead of relinquishing captaincy? What's the point of telling partner you have 2nd round control of diamonds? It's not like you are grand hunting, and at this point you are committed to slam already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 From the diagram, it doesn't look like pass over the double has any definition. By passing you tempted fate. Maybe this is even an improvement, I wouldn't be surprised if in years not-far-past GIB passed out 5DX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 From the diagram, it doesn't look like pass over the double has any definition. It doesn't actually alert the meanings it shows on mouseover. I loaded the hand into a teaching table with advanced robots and the auction exactly duplicated.
