"definitely that's what I like to play when I'm playing standard - I want to be able to bid diamonds because bidding good suits is important in bridge" - Meckstroth's opinion on weak 2 diamond

Yup, just add it to the pile. Just one more example of GIB doubling with a hand type of the non-classical 3-suit variety and then being totally incapable of following up on it. Seen enough of these now. The problem is fully known, now it is just a question of when it gets addressed.

For me, I would better jump 3♠ over opening 2♦, it would be just consistent with Gib CC.

Great point Lycier. The strong jump overcall over a Weak 2 is missed by most players in GIB tournaments, but I have found it to be extremely effective. And yes, this hand qualifies.
OOPS LOL. This time it is GIB who missed the overcall. I often misread hands where GIB has a strong hand opposite the human's weaker one, since this never occurs in the tournaments.
