I suppose my 3S could be 3 cards in simulatorville. Then suddenly my "points" jump because I bid 5D. Or do I wait for GIBBO to double again then do something? vrock1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 IMO both W and N made poor bids.But after your minimal reply to double then nothing more or less than 4♠ makes much sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 East's initial pass seems rather poor too :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do I wait for GIBBO to double again then do something? vrock1There are times when sensible bidding with Gib is just impossible.Gib has huge spade support, why is doing anything but raising spades unless 4D is forcing.So 4♦ has to be forcing and description seems to indicate it is unlimited and big diamond suit.Can you be blamed showing trump support with a singleton. Maybe, but there are so many cases where the obvious bid shows a big hand if this isn't the right example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I will report it, mostly based on spades not being raised. To me that is the big problem of the hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeigh Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 There are times when sensible bidding with Gib is just impossible. Yes, in my experience, if it's a day with a "y" in the name. (Caveat: GiB probably plays better than I do. But he doesn't scream as loudly when I mess up.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
