MP, best hand South, instant, pro gib 30

At the other tables, under a previous version of GIB, North bid 3D where mine bid 2H

2H maybe 2 out of 10. Did GIB E find the killing C lead?

If you had diamonds and North had clubs, you would have been able to outbid them with 7♦ making. I wonder if GIB would have taken out to 7♥ after having been outbid in the other suit.

Although I don't think much of North's bidding, I think with the South hand I would have bid 6H rather than 7C, expecting the North hand to have the red and black suits the other way around.

I certainly thought about it.

The problem with 6H is that to come close you are going to need to run the Clubs, and with only Kx of Hearts you are unlikely to be able to draw trumps and have an entry to the Clubs.

If you swap *these* red suits, 7C would still need a trump lead to have any chance of beating it, and even on an assumed trump lead would still be only a bit below the odds.

But of course North could be even less suitable, so I take your point.

I give zeroes to all three bids. If North is planning on bidding a second time (DUH!) then show your suits in the proper order of length, hence Diamonds then Hearts.

GIB should NEVER be allowed to pull a 7-level contract. It looked like some robot just wanted to be a hand hog.
