wbartley Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Just play bridge robots. Human South. [hv=pc=n&s=sa73haqt72dj5c642&w=skqj92h94dt3caj85&n=s86hkj85d87642ckq&e=st54h63dakq9ct973&d=w&v=b&b=4&a=1sp2spp3dppp]399|300[/hv] I realize this is a balancing auction and I've already been told that GIB balancing needs work, but this is a fairly common situation where North is much better served by doubling in the balancing seat and correcting a 3♣ response to 3♦ rather than unilaterally bidding 3♦.

eagles123 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 i agree GIB should if anything x, but over 3C i would definitely pass rather than 3D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In GUBBO's world double is 14-16 (I think) so it is stuck. It did not overcall 2D hence is weak. Seems to not have clubs. Take life in hand and bid 3H? Almost 100% it has 2S. Does 3D blurb show 5+ or 4+ D? vrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
