Help
often when I'm trying to show a strong hand with X and a new suit, the GIB doesn't see it as a strong hand or sees it as a strong hand but still as a strong takeout double.
Example 1:
(2H)-p-(3H)-X
(p)-4C-(p)-4S = 20+ Points, biddable Spades - right
(p)-6D*-(p)-6S *: 5+ D, 4+ C??? But had 6C+4D
(p)-7C-passout
Of course, DA was missing.
Example 2:
(2S)-X-(3S)-p
(p)-4H-(p)-5D
passout
GIB hold:
J97
84
109862
AD2
I don't need to tell you, 4 Hearts are making without any problems and 5 D are down 2, although I had - coincidentally - AQx-Support
I think the same problem exists more or less after a 1level-double, too.. But have no hand I remember
Sincerely Yours,
