thepossum Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Hi all I've been playing GIB for several weeks. On a number of occasions there have been misunderstanding on what the Trump suit is when I thought it had been clearly determined. This has led on two occasions when the robot has bit 0 or 3 key cards when only two were outstanding. Of course this leads to missing small and grand slams. Anyone else had problems with GIB and Blackwood. Thanks P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 If you hover the cursor over a 4NT Blackwood bid, the description should say Blackwood with the agreed on suit in parenthesis (ie for spades, you should see Blackwood (S) in the description).

smerriman Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Nope - this is one thing GIB tends to get right. If you post a link to the hands (finding the hand under My BBO - Hands and Results, and then going to Export deal - Handviewer link), perhaps we can help clear up what you're missing. Note that the suit is mentioned in the description of the bid too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm fairly sure that when I hovered over my 4NT it was my suit. I always check that. Maybe my problems were in some earlier hands. I am still getting used to GIB after a few weeks. Starting to get used to it but its let me down on a few tournament hands. Start another thread on that. Sorry I probably cant find the Blackwood one. It probably was my error as you point out. Thanks regards Possum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
