I have found that Gib rarely finesse twice in over ten similar hands at least.
How do you think of it?

bizarre examples. example 1 may make no difference not absolutely sure. but why not repeat the finesse. maybe at imps you may want to be 100% sure someone is not holding up. but I suspect this is mp as lycier is usually playing that so is totally bizarre.

Not sure why you think this... in the past month, Lycier has played 219 hands MP and 2400+ hands IMPs.

Basic or advanced bots? I think failure to repeat winning hooks is characteristic of basic bots but should not happen on advanced.
