smerriman Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 5 Hearts made, but that's not the point.Perhaps it is. Basic GIB passes; none of the options it has are a reasonable description of its hand. If advanced GIB calculates that lying about its hand will lead to a better contract.. it's hard to argue definitively in that case the simulation was wrong.

In GIB's seat I would surely have raised to game, trusting partner to have a strong 6 bagger. GIB was just being a good partner, regardless of the description of the bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
