Not my table, but an "interesting" example of the "logic" of GIBBO bidding.

This hand VERY luckily turned out well for NS , thanks to the VERY favourable layout in spades and diamonds, but...how on Earth can North's 3NT (!) be a good call with his 6-0-3-4 hand...including a VOID in the suit his "partner" just showed?

As usual, the GIB definition of 3NT is pathetic, stupid, and useless: "1-4 clubs; 1-3 diamonds; 1-3 hearts; 6-7 spades; 10 HCP; partial stop in clubs; partial stop in diamonds". Besides being useless, it also makes no sense in that it says he can have up to FOUR clubs but only up to THREE diamonds. WHY, pray tell? What the HELL is the rationale for that ludicrous disparity?

Additionally, as is SO often the case with these GIBBO pieces of trash, North is not even adhering to his own GIB definition, as he does NOT have "10 HCP" - he has a mere EIGHT.

East-West robots - GIBBO robots who are invariably BAD bidders, but usually because they overbid - miss a cold game here that EITHER of them might well have bid. Charlie Rich had a song called "Everything I Do Is Wrong". It could well be the theme song of the disgustingly execrable GIBBO robots.

I would have been better off doubling 4S and collecting at least 500, but once I chose to bid 5H, West was kind and generous (and clueless!) enough to allow me an overtrick by leading a club rather than a spade.

TRULY hopeless play of a heart at trick six by the GIBBO doofus sitting West. In fairness, however, as stupid as he is, he is certainly not any more stupid than his fellow GIB and GIBBO brethren, as worthless a collection of total losers as anyone has ever seen.
