Scoring: total points


West North East South

 -     -     1♦    Pass
 1NT   Pass  2♦    Pass
 Pass  2♠    Pass  Pass
 3♦    3♥    Pass  Pass
 Pass  


I was south and surprise when I saw gib hand. Gib pass first round then starts biding. Is there any logic in north(gib) biding?

In Gibs view, being on lead and defending 1N when white/red was his best chance. If he is cold for a game he will often beat 1N 3 or 4 tricks anyways. If he can't make a game, he will probably go plus 100 or 200 vs 1N. He didn't like his chances nearly as much against 2D so now he came in. After 3D, he inferred that partner will often have 3 spades or 5 hearts on the bidding so he can probably make 3 of a major.

Not good bidding but there is some logic to it.

Hi,

as far as I know, GIB also uses simulation
to solve bidding issues.
This will sometimes lead to strange bidding
seq.
