Luckily still a make.Also the ranges for 2H and 3H at North's 2nd turn are weird; 3H is GF? While without dbl 3H is invitational only. Seems like 3H should still be invite, and 2H weaker range??

johnu Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 2H by north, when opps seem about to rescue you from misfit?? This is GIB Standard to rescue partner when holding a singleton in partner's suit. On this hand, GIB even had a 5 card suit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgosrock Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 This is GIB Standard to rescue partner when holding a singleton in partner's suit. On this hand, GIB even had a 5 card suit! There are two cases which GUBBO interprets as a clarion call to action:1. stiff even if in partner's suit2. Length/values in opponent's suit Here the stiff club prompts 2H.Lefty GUBBO has KQT in clubs thus values and marginal length. Would prefer 4+ cards in clubs.Righty GUBBO has 3S but compensating HCP hence..... And you reached the optimal 3H LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbartley Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 How is 3♥ the optimal contract when 2♠ is off 3? You're right. The bots certainly love to bid on this particular layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
