The GIBBO piece of trash makes his usual witless, unscientific, unilateral leap to 6NT, but - incredibly - he has managed to INVENT a NEW auction that is even more staggeringly stupid than usual.

He bids 3C, Stayman. He learns that his partner South, who responds 3S, has at least four spades. He, North, ALSO has four spades...and he LEAPS to six NO TRUMP.

If he was GOING to leap to 6NT anyway, then...why the HELL did he bother bidding Stayman?

I doubt that these disgusting slimeballs are actually getting even WORSE every day, but they have SO many STUPIDITIES in their arsenal that even after all this time they are still able to entertain us with completely brainless actions that we have never before seen. They are the absolute WEORST!

Typically stupid lead by Johnny Halfwit in the West: a HEART, declarer's known second suit, INTO declarer. Please throw each and every GIBBO robot into either an incinerator or a trash compacter, and replace the useless imbeciles with DECENT robots.

The GIBBO robot in the North shows why it's losing bridge to pass in such situations.

BTW, even if his pass had worked out well, I would have made this same post.

The GIB definitions are all worthless garbage as usual, but with East's bidding (showing a LOT of minor-suit cards), and with West's great minor-suit support AND lack of defence against 4H, AND at favourable vulnerability, I think it was clear for West to bid five of a minor.

We got a good score (82.1 %) for going down "only" one in 3S, but that does not justify North's imbecilic 3H bid. If he chooses to compete to the three level, that's one thing, but why the HELL is he bidding three HEARTS, which is defined as "5+ spades; biddable diamonds; 10 total points". The jerk has NEITHER "5+ spades" NOR "10 total points".

The GIBBO robot in the East was also an I.D.I.O.T. No surprise there: ALL GIBBO robots are I.D.I.OT.s. This particular jackass proved it with his imbecilic lead of the diamond king, even KNOWING that North had a DIAMOND suit.

Why does GIBBO, this festering sore, still even EXIST?

How STUPID are the GIBBO robots? THIS stupid: East COVERS the heart jack at trick two. Consider: East had three hearts in his own hand and saw four in dummy. He knew, since North had opened 1H, that North had at least five hearts. That accounts for 12 of the 13 hearts, and the 13th heart is either in declarer North's hand or in West's, East's partner.

If the 13th heart is in DECLARER'S hand, it is obviously folly for East to cover, because if he does, declarer will win dummy's ace and then pull East's remaining two trumps with his king and 10 (which is actually what happened). BUT if East doesn't (stupidly) cover, declarer might go wrong. He might well rise with dummy's ace, and if he does, presto: East will have a heart trick with his remaining QX.

So, if DECLARER North has the 13th heart, it is CLEARLY wrong for East to cover.

Okay, but what if it's West who has the 13th heart? Well, it would be stiff. If it's a stiff KING and East covers, North will obviously play dummy's ace, crashing East's queen and West's king. East WILL get a heart trick, because he will have 9X behind North's remaining 10-fourth, but EW would have had at LEAST one NATURAL heart trick anyway. So, it is clearly wrong for East to cover if West's hypothetical stiff heart is the king.

What if West's hypothetical stiff heart is a "small" one - ANY heart other than the king or the 10? Again, it is CLEARLY wrong to cover, because declarer will win East's queen with dummy's ace, and will then pull East's two remaining hearts with the king and 10...but if East doesn't cover, declarer might go wrong by playing dummy's ace anyway, whereby East will later score a heart with his remaining QX.

So far, we've seen that it's wrong for East to cover any time North has the 13th heart, and also that it's wrong to cover even if it's West who has the 13th heart, as long as West's stiff heart is ANYTHING except the stiff 10.

So, what if it IS West who has the 13th heart, and his STIFF heart IS the 10? In this ONE scenario, it is "right" for East to cover...but ONLY if declarer was going to SLIDE his jack if it was not covered. Why? Because if East doesn't cover AND North slides his jack, the jack will win (dropping West's hypothetical stiff 10), and declarer will then pull East's two remaining hearts (QX) with dummy's ace and his king...whereas if East had covered the jack with his queen, declarer would have won THAT trick with dummy's ace, dropping West's stiff 10, but East would later have scored a heart trick with his remaining 9X behind declarer's remaining king-fourth.

So: Out of ALL the (many!) possible scenarios from East's point of view at trick two, there is ONLY...ONE (!) where it is "right" to cover: When WEST has the 13th (unaccounted for) heart, AND it is SPECIFICALLY the (stiff) TEN. And even THEN, it is "right" to cover ONLY if declarer was going to SLIDE his jack if it was not covered. But it even goes beyond THAT, because...

If West has the stiff 10, that means that declarer's hearts must be the KJ642 in his hand opposite the A875 in dummy...and with THAT combined heart holding, declarer would NEVER begin the play of the suit by leading the JACK!

So: Covering the jack HAD to be wrong, and HAD to be a very, VERY stupid play...by a typically very, VERY stupid piece of trash known as a GIBBO robot!

Another interesting thread:

South deals and opens 1NT. All pass.

West is on lead with 108, QJ954, A108, Q53.

Question: What does West lead?

Answer: The...10 of spades.

Question: Good grief...WHY?

Answer: Because he's a GIBBO robot!

Question: Did the lead work out well for the GIBBO robot?

Answer: Ha, ha, ha, ha, HA! Are you kidding me? Of COURSE it didn't work out well for him - HE'S a GIBBO robot!

BRILLIANT lead (NOT!) of the stiff 9 of spades...INTO the 4H declarer who had opened one spade.

AND: Why on EARTH would East WASTE his TEN of spades from 107532 on the trick? Yes, had East CORRECTLY played low, declarer later could and definitely should hook him for the 10 anyway, but East should at least give declarer SOME chance (no matter how miniscule) of going wrong. GIBBO, however, is too hopeless to ever consider that.

GIBBO = garbage.

Here's my periodic reminder that even though there are currently over 1900 posts in this thread, I only post a tiny, TINY fraction of the hands where one, two, or all three GIBBO robots do something stupid. It would be impossible to post them all, because these hopeless losers are constantly proving that they are dumber than rocks.

[benellis58]

East doubles 4C, so of COURSE West leads a DIAMOND. After all, since his "partner" showed CLUBS, he would never, ever, EVER even CONSIDER leading a CLUB. He would lead ANYTHING other than a CLUB.

BTW, I think North's bidding stinks. He is way too good to jam the auction with his foolish splinter. He has FIRST-round controls in ALL THREE side suits and he has a MONSTER source of tricks with his heart suit, yet the imbecile is wasting several levels of valuable bidding space and not EVEN showing his club void, since the splinter could be a singleton.

Please throw ALL GIBBO robots into an incinerator and turn the heat up to its highest temperature. It is LONG past the time to replace these disgusting pieces of garbage with DECENT robots that at least have SOME clue about bridge.

"Defender" West wins his diamond jack at trick four. He KNOWS the remaining diamond position, which is:

He, "defender" West, now on lead at trick five, has the 72.
Dummy North, to his left, has the stiff 9.
West's "partner" East is VOID.
Declarer South, to his right, has the K5.

West leads...his diamond 2, KNOWING full well that declarer can win dummy's Curse of Scotland, travel to his own hand, and then cash his diamond king, pitching one of dummy's two losing clubs. This is EXACTLY what declarer does, as he subsequently loses ONLY one club, thereby making an "impossible" eleven tricks.

"Impossible"? Yes. Against any DECENT bridge player, that is. Against a contemptible, disgusting, piece of trash GIBBO robot, however, ELEVEN tricks are not only possible - they are likely!

Incinerator, please. Incinerator!

The GIBBO robot in the North wouldn't be content with a simple, normal 2H call. Oh no, perish the thought. HE'S a macho man, so HE must flex his muscles by JUMPING to THREE hearts...for NO reason.

BTW, the GIB definition of 3H is the usual collection of garbage that we have come to expect:

"Jump in competition". WHY does GIB persist in beginning its pathetic definitions with unnecessary, obvious, needless, tremendously annoying, useless, insulting introductions like this particular piece of drivel?

"4+ hearts". No KIDDING? Ya know, I think we kind of suspected that when he...JUMPED to THREE...HEARTS!

"11- HCP". No KIDDING? Ya know, I think we kind of suspected that when he...FAILED TO OPEN THE BIDDING in second seat!

"10-12 total points". Totally useless, whether accurate or not, because GIB lacks ANY understanding of "total" points, so any mention of them is always ignored.

Incinerator...please!

No enemy bidding (that is, of course, apart from the ENEMY sitting ACROSS from me!).

North passes. South opens 1S. North bids 2NT, showing, according to the GIB definition, a balanced invitation with exactly two spades and exactly 11 HCP.

Amazingly, that is EXACTLY what North has, so he has (for ONCE) described his hand perfectly (within the context of the antiquated, execrable GIBBO system).

Well DONE, Mr. North! Credit where it's due! If I wore a hat, I'd take it off to you!

North's partner South HEARD the bid. North's partner South UNDERSTOOD the bid. North's partner SOUTH, thanks to North's EXCELLENT description of his hand, had an EXCELLENT idea of what North had.

Armed with this knowledge, South COULD have passed 2NT...or...COULD have raised to 3NT...or COULD have bid a new suit...or COULD have jumped to FOUR spades.

South did none of these things. Rightly or wrongly, he bid THREE spades, which was...DUH...to PLAY.

North...BID 3NT! REGARDLESS of layout, REGARDLESS of result, and EVEN if his action resulted in a top, his action was UNDISCIPLINED and STUPID (two adjectives which, coincidentally, are ALWAYS accurate descriptions of ALL GIBBO robots).

Trick one: North leads his stiff club against West's 3S. South wins his ace, and West is too STUPID to falsecard with his 10 from 102 dub, so South KNOWS that North led a singleton.

Trick two: South returns his LOWEST club, the 3, for North to ruff, hoping that North will read this as suit preference for a diamond return. North ruffs.

Trick three: North DOES return a diamond (the jack). MAYBE he figured out the suit preference signal, or MAYBE he led a diamond because of his J109874 sequence in the suit, or MAYBE he just randomly tossed any old card on the table (as these clowns often SEEM to do) and it just happened to be a diamond. Who knows, who cares (?), but he did return a diamond. South won the king.

Trick four: South cashed his diamond ace.

Trick five: South cashed his heart ace. North...with the K652,,,(that's the...KING, 6,5,2!) followed with the...DEUCE! The GIBBO M.O.R.O.N. followed with the DEUCE, his LOWEST heart, the LOWEST heart in the deck, a heart that his "partner" South would KNOW was the lowest heart in the deck! The robots SUPPOSEDLY play standard signals!

Trick six: Since his "partner" North, had CLEARLY discouraged in hearts by playing the lowest heart in the deck (!), South played a club, hoping that a spade (trump) trick could be promoted for the NS partnership. West ruffed with the spade jack, played a spade to dummy's ace (pulling North's LAST trump), and...cashed dummy's club jack...PITCHING HIS REMAINING HEART LOSER(!) and taking ALL the remaining tricks.

Note that North KNEW he had the (cashable) heart king and KNEW that he would be unable to overruff declarer on a third round of clubs...but he followed to pard's heart ace with the lowest heart in the deck!

GIBBO robots are nothing but garbage...of the worst, smelliest sort.

And another!

West avoids the Bath Coup at trick two, but at trick seven he stupidly plays a second diamond instead of SAFELY exiting with a club. In effect, the clueless GIBBO rube simply DELAYED falling into the Bath and did it at trick seven instead of at trick two. Even when these imbeciles start off on the right track, they can't manage to stay on it. They are the slime of the bridge world.

Instead of making what should have been a NORMAL diamond lead, Superjerk in the North trotted out one of his favourites: the top of a worthless doubleton. It did NOT work out well, but fortunately we somehow got a decent score (71.4 %) on the board anyway.
