TylerE Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Why do you think this is impossible? 4NT was a quantitative invite, 5♦ is declining and showing a suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfi Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Why do you think this is impossible? 4NT was a quantitative invite, 5♦ is declining and showing a suit.Even if this is true, 5D is a second suit. The robot should show preference for hearts. However, I would really have expected anything apart from pass to be natural and forcing to slam.

smerriman Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 5♦ is just plain undefined. GIB tends to pass if you make a bid that doesn't exist. Yes, it shouldn't, but really, just don't make undefined bids :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Solid bidding by GIB. Some people would ask how is getting to a 3-2 fit any good. There are much worse suit fits that GIB could have ended up in (although not on this hand). There are plenty of hands where passing 5♦ would be the right bid so I encourage GIB to keep passing until one of those hands comes up.
