Recently, I was a passed hand and wanted to compete with 3-4-5-1 distribution over a 1♠ opening. I figured my passed hand status would protect me. No! I doubled, and GIB bid 2♣. I bid my diamonds, and GIB started cue bidding spades. I could not get out until 5♦.

When I checked the explanation of my 2♦ call, GIB said it was 18+ HCP with rebiddable diamonds! That is pretty good for a passed hand.

Is this the hand? It's the only one you were in 5♦ in the past few weeks. You weren't a passed hand though, so it's probably not the one you meant.

That should be the game it seems.

It will be investigated what caused the wrong explanation.
