Scoring: Total Points

1♠ 4N
5♥ 5N
6♣ 6♦
6♥ 7♠

6♥ was explained as a cue bid. Since I'd already guaranteed that we have all the aces, I didn't need to know about that, so I assumed it was showing the king (even though the explanation correctly said 8+ 8421 points).

It turned out all right, as it was able to discard the heart losers on my clubs.

GIB's system over responses to 5N is incomplete. 6♣ by GIB showed the K♣. From here on out, GIB reverts to cuebidding, including aces. I agree with you that cuebidding doesn't make much sense when we've confirmed all the keycards.

One problem is that simulations often don't work so well here because it's difficult to generate deals that match the constraints. This appears to be what happened when GIB bid 6♥.
