And then in middle of hand I realized GIB had doubled.....ouch

pigpenz, your hand diagrams are too tiny to read. Either use LIN format so you can specify the size (300x400 is a good size), or put a link instead of a diagram.

At least you didn't pull the double and push them into slam

This is referred as GIB bug?

More likely it's consequence by 3♠. North can't be aware you're just enjoying with random calls.

I don't think he's reporting this as a bug. Maybe he should have posted it in the funny robot stories thread.

Although I think they should fix the robot system. A new suit after double of a preempt shouldn't show a strong hand, it's a rescue attempt, usually because you have a void in opener's suit and you're worried that LHO will convert to penalty.

yes its sort of humorus, but I dont think gib can really think he has a penalty double, I cant imagine anyone who has never done this with fit with partner.
and sorry aout the graphic being too tiny but that is what you get when you browse and edit from an ipad, its hard enough to try and get most of spelling correct little alone edit a hand

There probably should be a rule "once you've preempted, you can't double for penalty". Then partner can psyche safely.

Hmm, is a rule like that a psychic control?
