Now now, it didn't jump to six. It just bid to six. Clearly improvements are being made.

haha sorry Dom. my bad :)

d42 2 "points"
c5 4 "points
spades 12 "points"
hearts 10 "points"

ie 28 "points"

Should have jumped to 7S since 28+15 43

Amen

Clearly West's fault for voluntarily bidding spades twice. OK, one was just completing the transfer and the other was saying no real interest in bidding slam, but still, you did bid spades twice. GIB has a "short" memory, so on (re)discovering 6 card spade support, what else are you supposed to do but show support and raise to 6. I can't think of any way to avoid slam missing 2 aces B-)

LOL johnu. After sign-off 5S. GUBBO's addled innards say MY simulation says you must have an ace therefore I MUST go to 6.
I thought it was a partnership game but not so for GUBBO.

Texas is so stupid. it was just a transfer to 6

What if west has 4 wouldn't there be some interest in 6 but for goodness sake lets add RKC as a convention in next Gib downgrade <sarcasm>
Sarcasm is a state of mind
