thepossum Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 This hand interested me. Being quite experienced with GiB I passed. A few risked 3NT and many people tried to get to 5 Diamonds (ACBL MPs) For those who can't guess what happens you end up in unmakeable spade game or diamond slam.

hrothgar Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 I've seen quite good authorities recommend that if you're playing MP and 1. If you've bypassed 3N AND2. You believe that 3N was makable then you might want to be much more aggressive about bidding 6m because 5m isn't going to score well Personally, I'd be surprised if GIB had any such logic built into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepossum Posted May 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 I realise 5M doesn't score well very often but it was in this case the right contract IMO At least it wasn't wrong and would have scored very well🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
