0-20 total points? Could we be a bit more specific?

Also another example of the infamous 29-30 total points shown by bidding 5♣ opposite a possible yarb. And I guess that 12HCP is not enough to raise to 6♣ opposite that supposed monster.

Heh. 4C is normally NF in my book. Bit risky to do that with 20 TP

LOL yes. But OTHO, raising 5♣ to 6 is known as the futile Willy syndrome. You make a limit bid and when partner raises to game you bid on ... my impression is that GIB doesn't do this so often anymore.

Another stealth revision?? Experience says that surely GIB would have raised 5C to 6 in the past, and probably on less. But it is certainly baffling why it prefers the minor to the major.
