steve2005 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Gib isn't programmed to handle this hand.Gib thinks it has a great hand and is willing to play in 3♠ opposite nothing where the opponents have at least 5 trumps and all the honour spots opposite a zero pt hand.Gib just doesn't have such a hand. To be fair if you do have serious heart or diamond length and the 6 points you have there could be a lot of tricks. I am not sure what I would bid with hand but I would know I dont have a great hand.

smerriman Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 The worst part seems to be that 2♠ is described as forcing to 3♠, instead of 3♥. 3♠?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Why on earth didn't S raise ♠ with 3 card support? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 virgosrock - I'm going to have to ask you to stop playing robot games because you seem to have seriously broken GIB. :o 2♠ is apparently natural (forcing to 3♠)??? and 3♥ is forcing???

LOL johnu. I think it is the volume of hands I play. Note the principles - length in opps suit and a void. Upgrade to the skies.Time and time again.

pescetom Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Why on earth didn't S raise ♠ with 3 card support? The blurb says "at best stop in ♠" which seems to deny a suit to raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
