steve2005 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 This hand isn't about your points or Gib points.It's about degree of fit mostly which is what 4♠ should be saying.Slam is also about controls and tricks. Pts is only a consideration when you have 33+ and not the TP Gib uses.K♦ by all right should be useless but you have A♦ which you should not have. So slam is almost good just need J♠ or someone with a 5th ♣. Gib counting it's points like the Walrus is not much better than a random number generator when it comes to bidding slams.
