Here's the post twinned with the one immediately above. The link here will show what happened with the same hand at a different table. OMAR wrote "Second most common result occurred 8 times with same auction until my hand decided it did not really have the Q of hearts."

I'm not sure what OMAR meant by his choice of words, but he might (?) have been implying that the 8 human Souths erred by giving and incorrect response to Blackwood. IF (?) that is what he is implying, he could (?) be correct, but I would disagree. I would speculate that the human Souths who theoretically misresponded to Blackwood might have PURPOSELY done so, KNOWING that their GIBBO "partner" is one of the worst bidders of all time AND a chronic overbidder, who might EASILY have made a SILLY and UNPREPARED Blackwood bid. These wise human Souths might have PURPOSELY not shown the heart queen to guard against the expected BAD bidding by North. In theory, they were RIGHT to do so, since there WAS no LEGITIMATE slam against anyone who knew how to make an INTELLIGENT lead.

Of course, OMAR might NOT have been implying anything bad about the human Souths. Who knows? In any case, those who lied or misresponded actually ended up in a BETTER contract than 6H - the LEGITIMATELY COLD 5H... but their "reward" for being in a BETTER contract was a WORSE score, thanks to the inept leading "skills" (ha, ha!) of the execrable GIBBO robots. Those who stopped in 5H also made 13 tricks, but of course did not get the slam bonus.

Just popping in quickly to emphasize that when it comes to bridge the GIB/GIBBO robots are, in my opinion, not only the worst "bridge players" that the world of bridge has ever seen, but also the worst "bridge players" that the world of bridge ever WILL see. I can't even imagine anyone or anything playing worse bridge than the execrable, hopelessly incompetent GIB/GIBBO robots. They rot - totally and completely. As I have often opined, they are the lowest of the low, the worst of the worst. They desecrate the game by their very presence.

You might even say that I have no respect for them, or as the late great Rodney Dangerfield would put it, "No respect, no respect at all". Rodney was an outstanding example of comedic genius. He is sadly missed by many. The GIBBO robots, on the other hand, are outstanding examples of nauseating incompetence, and on that wonderful day when they finally vanish forever (hopefully VERY soon), I would be surprised if they are missed by ANYONE.
