pescetom Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Wise pass by GIB: he's vulnerable in misfit and 31 points are not worth slam B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 In defense of GIB North, that's a very strong void in support of hearts. I have never seen better void support than on this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbartley Posted February 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Personally, I think it was the poor quality of the club suit that made GIB decide not to show it. If it had held the ten instead of the nine, THEN it would have been a good enough suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 It could have been worse. I'm guessing you were playing with advanced bots - basic GIB decides to bid 4♠, which seems reasonable until you see that it promises heart support, and will follow up by signing off in 5♥ no matter what you respond. Not having followups to off-shape doubles has been a long term weakness of GIB. The definition of 5♣ over 4♥ is identical to that of the double, so indeed appears undefined.. Personally, I think it was the poor quality of the club suit that made GIB decide not to show it. If it had held the ten instead of the nine, THEN it would have been a good enough suit.Basic GIB doubles and passes 4♥ even when dealt all 13 clubs :) (In fact, it even passes as opener holding a 13 card suit).

msjennifer Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 The ROBOTS in play today are nothing but bozos .Many of my friends ,and that includes me, have stopped playing with them. .Another dumb Robot failed to cash two winners and thus set a 3NT contract shifted nonsensically to another suit and allowed one OT.The authorities may please consider to engage a better programmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
