thorvald Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I have noticed that GIB with a decent 5-card suit often competes, when the opps have stopped in 2Ma, but this is the first time I have seen GIB bid on a 4-card suit at the 3-level [hv=url=https://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?lin=st||pn|Thorvald,~~v3fakebot,~~v3fakebot,~~v3fakebot|md|2SKT73HK843DQ9CKJ5,S862HJDAJ632CQ742,SAHT97DT754CAT986,SQJ954HAQ652DK8C3|sv|o|rh||ah|Board%208|mb|P|mb|P|mb|1S|an|Major%20suit%20opening%20--%205+%20!S;%2011-21%20HCP;%2012-22%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|2S|an|Simple%20raise%20--%203+%20!S;%207-10%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|P|an|Third%20hand%20opener%20passes%20--%205+%20!S;%2011+%20HCP;%2012-14%20total%20points|mb|3H|an|Balancing%20overcall%20--%205+%20!H;%2010-16%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|P|mb|D|an|5+%20!S;%2014+%20HCP;%20biddable%20!H;%2014-%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|P|mb|P|pc|HJ|pc|H7|pc|H2|pc|HK|pc|H3|pc|D2|pc|H9|pc|HA|pc|HQ|pc|H4|pc|S2|pc|HT|pc|S5|pc|S3|pc|S8|pc|SA|pc|C6|pc|C3|pc|CK|pc|C7|pc|CJ|pc|C4|pc|C8|pc|H5|pc|DK|pc|D9|pc|D6|pc|D4|pc|SQ|pc|SK|pc|S6|pc|D5|pc|H8|pc|D3|pc|D7|pc|H6|pc|C5|pc|C2|pc|C9|pc|S4|pc|CA|pc|S9|pc|S7|pc|CQ|pc|CT|pc|D8|pc|DQ|pc|DA|pc|DT|pc|SJ|pc|ST|pc|DJ|]399|300[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorvald Posted August 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Isn't the 3♥ bidder Thorvald the human? Ah, yes, it was from the dayly "Only declare" tournament, so all bidding is done by the bots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorvald Posted August 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I think all the "Declare only" boards are bid with the advanced robots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 Yes, the database rule requires a 5 card suit, so nothing really buggy here. There'll always be rare cases where a smallish set of simulated deals leads GIB to a conclusion that is bad in the long run. Managed to replicate the 3♥ bid on the 19th attempt after it passed the first 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
