Hi,
Time and again my high discard for encouraging does not seem to be understood by GIB
Why and what can be done.
What exactly the carding system followed by GIB
Simply saying 3/5 is of no help to me as I need the complete details
Can Rain help me here

GIB uses random carding.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

We currently just need to accept that at the current status, GIB is a very poor partner when defending and just laugh it off. I do.
Hope you can see the funny side of the following.
GIB often makes random signals and seems to ignore high for encouraging, low for encouraging. high-low for a even number wanting a ruff, reverse length signals for ruffing ...
It is not just the lack of much signalling or signalling capacity or awareness be it attitude or count, GIB makes random leads too.
Even the Rueful Rabbit (RR) would not find a lead of x from AQx in a side suit against 5Hx to allow me to make an impossible contract.
Also RR would not lead a sude suit singleton holding AKQxxxx hearts with the opponents ended in 4D in an auction suggesting I had zero points (the actual case) let alone the Ace of the singleton suit.
To make you fall about laughing. my charmingly erratic robot partner did not even have a trump to ruff with!
We need, perhaps, to accept that GIB cannot defend very well at the moment but will get better over time.
I believe correcting GIB bidding must come first else we will be defending more often than we should when partnering a charmingly erratic bridge computer profram.

I believe GIB is mostly giving count. But for example with 4 cards, that means playing the second-lowest, followed by the lowest.

Thanks for all info.
Have always wondered why GIB which counts very well does not card well but never thought there are so many loopholes still to be improved upon.
All the same they are better partners than the average humans in bringing home the bid contract !
