MP, best hand South, instant, adv GIB ver 30
Perhaps the only aspect of real interest is the declarer play, in which GIB took no part. The opening lead smells of a singleton. A no-brainer at IMP (continue C from the top), Should you protect against 4-1 trumps at MP? I didn't do myself any favours by playing a third trump but that was not the real issue.
But anyway, all that aside, 3H??? A sort of Zia cue designed to put off the lead?
