johnu Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I note that the description of 3♦ doesn't including "forcing". Is this a case of Simon Says? If Simon (aka GIB) doesn't say "forcing", a bid isn't forcing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigpenz Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 A apparently not in GIB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbartley Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Even if this bid isn't forcing, a false preference to 3♠ seems like a standout. Surely 3♦ promises at least five spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 This is a common problem with GIB bidding. If a bid is described as unlimited (in this case, 11+), logically it should be forcing, but apparently not for GIB. If it isn't explicitly forcing, GIB will often pass it.

jammen Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I had GIB pass 4nt unusual when I was holding void, Ax, AK10xx, KQ10xxxx. Partner held 10xxx, Qxxxx, xxx, Jx and I went down 4 singled against a vul spade game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
