3NT hand
My premise is any beginner would return suit led by partner ()
Is this unreasonable?
Can anyone explain Gibs logic?
Sarcasm is a state of mind

Clearly GIB East missorted its hand and had 3 in with the hearts. :lol:

Maybe GIB would have continued diamonds if you played the 2 showing 5 when East cashed A? It's really just a guess with GIB :(

GIB does stupidly lead 4 from 754, which is probably the most likely holding for West given sims prove passive leads work better, after which a heart is sometimes a trick better than a diamond. But obviously, a diamond should still work better on average - unless there was a fluke in the sims which caused the other scenarios to never come up.
