MP, Instant, 33

GIB cannot think of a more imaginative or descriptive rebid than 3H?
Psych (pron. saik): A gross and deliberate misstatement of honour strength and/or suit length. Expressly permitted under Law 73E but forbidden contrary to that law by Acol club tourneys.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mPosted ImagesPosted ImagetPosted Imager-mPosted ImagendPosted Imageing) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.

"Gentlemen, when the barrage lifts." 9th battalion, King's own Yorkshire light infantry,
2000 years earlier: "morituri te salutant"

"I will be with you, whatever". Blair to Bush, precursor to invasion of Iraq

GIB boxes itself into a corner here. It allows a 2H opener at unfavorable with this garbage, but it requires a maximum to bid anything but 3H over the 2NT inquiry.

If I were placed at the table after the 2NT call and had to find a rebid, I would probably bid 3H also. But your point is quite valid.

One of the pinned threads in the GIB forum is "Understand GIB bid explanations".

The first post in that thread includes a link to the relevant document: http://doc.bridgebas...criptions.xhtml

Quote

biddable: 5+ cards, or 4 cards + 3 of 5 honors or more than 4 8421 points
rebiddable: biddable + 1 card
twice rebiddable: rebiddable + 1 card


So, "good" (an admittedly vague term I frequently use for shorthand) means having at least A or KJ or QJT.
