pescetom Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 A handviewer hack would help. But certainly doesn't look like at least 5-4 in favour of the major suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnu Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 What do you call a nine-card suit? If talking about GIB, how does it bid clubs? Too many clubs to possibly make a bid. Maybe a 6 or 7 card suit can be bid at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most amazing thing about this hand is that SR is playing against robots!!!OTH, GIB IME will bid Cappelletti 2 major with 4+ xxx shapes so long as the total points are OK.The algorithm seems to favour the major. GIB is apparently happy with whatever else it has so long as it has at least 4 in a major, at least 5 in a minor and at least a certain number of total points.Then, computer says YES. GIB is structured around the old-fashioned 'choose your own adventure' DOS arcade games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampyr Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 The most amazing thing about this hand is that SR is playing against robots!!! Yes I sometimes play in the free tournaments, when I should be doing Bridgemaster instead. At least the reward is that the robot sometimes throws up hilarity, as here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullve Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Where is the abuse? :) Cappelletti - spades and a minor -- 3- ♥; 4+ ♠; 11+ total pointsBtw, GiB would also overcall 2♠ with the black suits reversed, i.e. on [hv=pc=n&w=skj8765432hdca864]133|100[/hv](I just checked.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unlikely that partner has a ♠ suit but it is possible. Presumably, subsequent ♣ bids are canapé :) [/hv] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilowsky Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 If you want to abuse GIB's use of Cappelletti, here's how I do it .I'm ashamed of myself, but IMP's is IMP's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigpenz Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 GIB has bid this way for years, and its amazing how many 4-2 fits make.In games where you dont have best hand you can show both majors when 3-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
