#2651 Robot Duplicate - (MP) => Hand #2

At Trick #9, ♠9.... Really! A 0% play. Why doesn't GIB take the 50% play (♥ finesse) to make 4♠ ??

4♠ by North played nine times... resulting in N-S +620 5x for 92.31% and N-S -100 4x for 5.13%

Ugh........

Andy: If you're going to post in this section, you really should learn to post the hands along with your comments. The easiest way to do this is:
When looking at the hand, click on "Export deal"; then click on "handviewer link"; then copy and paste the link you are given here into your post.

The small spade was no 0% line. It wins, whenever East has no more diamonds left or plays another suit for another reason... And it wins 3 imps compared to all others who try a heart finesse and are -2.
I guess gib was convinced that the finesse is much worse then 50 %, giving the bidding and the play so far.

Don't get me wrong, the line was poor, but nearly everybody had seen worse plays by gibs and humans.
Kind Regards

Of course, East specifically said during the auction that he had a third diamond.
