I know GIB likes to raise a bit heavy, but the bonus 3 card trump support I didn't expect. I suspect West GIB thought the same.

I guess it's a good thing, otherwise my crazy bid wouldn't have worked :)

Geez Adam didn't you know that "6-10 total points" means something like ♠Q5 ♥J732 ♦3 ♣J76432 ! ;)

At least, GIB is consistant, both major raises are pathetic.

GIB often seems to make single raises with suits like this, then jump to 4 when the opponents compete. So I think you would have gotten there even if you hadn't made your crazy bid.
