this is a hand where I was curious as to what card you need to play in order to get your Partner
GIB to switch to your suit even after you have overcalled in it. Would I be better of Playing Q or
J?( this hand was with the flash version)
It would seem if its running simulations on defense that the only chance to beat the hand is a heart return.
If East is 3-(0-1)-(6-7)-(2-4) then south is getting squeezed in .

GIB doesn't read signals.

GIB thinks you have a better hand for your overcall, so you probably have a diamond honor behind declarer, while your A isn't going anywhere. It doesn't think your A is going anywhere, but if it leads you may be end-played. It think down 1 is pretty sure, so it's trying for down 2.

Was this a basic or advanced bot? When I gave my test bot more thinking time, its simulations found enough hands that are like the actual hand that it returned a instead of .
