johnu Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Low heart avoided the endplay in hearts at trick 13. Sure, it cost a trick but avoided the endplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Gib should have a complete count on the handso can someone explain?No, it doesn't. You could have the last spade, and East the heart king, in which case a low heart results in -2 rather than -1. GIB cannot comprehend you bidding 3♣ with 22 HCP when it promises at most 18. (Sure, the other option has 19, but that's considerably more likely. And even if it considers both options, low is better at IMPs as long as it's 5:3 you have the more likely hand).

smerriman Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 Forgot to mention this was a just declare tournament so the bidding was done by GIBThat makes its play make even more sense, given now we're talking about MPs and while GIB may make the same bid with both, the other hand is at least as likely.
