thorvald Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 I don't think this explanation is valid [hv=pc=n&s=skhakq84dq97cq763&d=n&v=n&b=5&a=1dp1h3sp4s?]133|200[/hv] Now that is a difficult hand, as Double is not known by GIB. I considered bidding 4N, and the explanation of that is: Unusual notrump, 5+♣, 5+♦, 4+♥, 18+ total points, forcing. Well I not only considered it, I bid 4N, and North bid 5♣, not showing ♣, but a cuebid, but not mentioning what was trump. Testing my options now I can see that 5♥ also would be a cuebid, so probably it is ♦, that is trump. So I decided to signoff in 5♦, and what happened now? Well North bid naturally 7♦, just one down, perhaps I should have tried to sign off with 6♦ [hv=url=https://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?lin=st||pn|~~https://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?lin=st||pn|~~v3fakebot,~~v3fakebot,Bot,~~v3fakebot|md|3SKHAKQ84DQ97CQ763,SAQ96532HD854CJ85,SJH76DAKJT32CAKT9,ST874HJT9532D6C42|sv|n|rh||ah|Board%205|mb|1D|an|Minor%20suit%20opening%20--%203+%20!D;%2011-21%20HCP;%2012-22%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|1H|an|One%20over%20one%20--%204+%20!H;%206+%20total%20points|mb|3S|an|Aggressive%20weak%20jump%20overcall%20--%206+%20!S;%2010-%20HCP;%203+%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|4S|an|2+%20!S;%2016-%20total%20points|mb|4N|an|Unusual%20notrump%20--%205+%20!C;%205+%20!D;%204+%20!H;%2018+%20total%20points;%20forcing|mb|P|mb|5C|an|Cue%20bid%20--%203+%20!D;%2021-%20HCP;%20!CA;%2013-22%20total%20points;%20forcing|mb|P|mb|5D|an|5+%20!C;%205+%20!D;%204+%20!H;%2018%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|7D|an|3+%20!D;%2021-%20HCP;%20!CA;%2018-22%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|P|mb|P|pc|S4|pc|SK|pc|SA|pc|SJ|pc|C8|pc|CT|pc|C2|pc|C3|mc|12|,~~v3fakebot,Bot, Bot,~~v3fakebot|md|3SKHAKQ84DQ97CQ763,SAQ96532HD854CJ85,SJH76DAKJT32CAKT9,ST874HJT9532D6C42|sv|n|rh||ah|Board%205|mb|1D|an|Minor%20suit%20opening%20--%203+%20!D;%2011-21%20HCP;%2012-22%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|1H|an|One%20over%20one%20--%204+%20!H;%206+%20total%20points|mb|3S|an|Aggressive%20weak%20jump%20overcall%20--%206+%20!S;%2010-%20HCP;%203+%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|4S|an|2+%20!S;%2016-%20total%20points|mb|4N|an|Unusual%20notrump%20--%205+%20!C;%205+%20!D;%204+%20!H;%2018+%20total%20points;%20forcing|mb|P|mb|5C|an|Cue%20bid%20--%203+%20!D;%2021-%20HCP;%20!CA;%2013-22%20total%20points;%20forcing|mb|P|mb|5D|an|5+%20!C;%205+%20!D;%204+%20!H;%2018%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|7D|an|3+%20!D;%2021-%20HCP;%20!CA;%2018-22%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|P|mb|P|pc|S4|pc|SK|pc|SA|pc|SJ|pc|C8|pc|CT|pc|C2|pc|C3|mc|12|]399|300[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorvald Posted September 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 My opponent doubled 4♠, that was even worse, as the bot had no problem in taking 10 tricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 You were very unlucky that East led a spade. That was very un-GIB like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
