The ignorant sloth in the West stupidly pops his heart (trump) ace at trick three, thereby GIVING South his game.

All the GIBBO dimwit had to do was play his low heart at trick three, allowing East to win the king and fire back his remaining spade. Then West, not having stupidly WASTED his entry, could win the SECOND round of hearts with his ace and give East a spade ruff (OR a diamond ruff) for down one.

Alternately, even AFTER foolishly popping his heart ace at trick three, West could have THEN given East a diamond ruff to beat the hand.

But don't ever expect a GIBBO slimebag to defend properly. Even if he has SEVERAL ways to succeed, as he does on this hand, he'll find the ONE way that DOESN'T work.

And as for BIDDING, maybe...just maybe...with a diamond VOID and EIGHT (!!!) strong clubs, East just MIGHT have scraped up enough "courage" (ha, ha) to mention his EIGHT-bagger over North's lowly 2D opener. GIBBO robots are not only hopeless - they're also gutless.

As I've mentioned several times, when I'm playing in a game with three GIBBO robots, I often operate or "experiment". Why? Several reasons:

1. I know going in that my "partner" is one of the worst "bridge players" of all time and that my opponents also are.
2. It's fun.
3. It gives me a chance to try things that I would never even DREAM of doing in "real" F2F bridge.
4. It works out well more often than not.

Well, here's an "experiment" that DIDN'T work out. I opened an off-the-wall 1NT rather than a normal 1S and got to an "unmakeable" 3NT rather than to the normal 4S, which is ice cold for 11 tricks.

Mind you, note that on any lead but a club, playing in NT would have scored VERY well. Unfortunately, though, West had the world's most obvious lead of the club king, and even the GIBBO hayseed in the West found that lead.

When I saw that club king hit the table, I said to myself, "Self, it looks like you picked the wrong time to fool around. Oh well, c'est la vie. They don't ALWAYS work out".

I realized that they'd take a million clubs and I'd get a zero...but...something funny happened on the way to the Forum, because...they only took TWO (!!!) tricks, and I took...ELEVEN!

I actually made TWO OVERTRICKS...even though they LED and CONTINUED clubs, and my club "stopper" was 85 doubleton in my hand opposite 104 doubleton in the dummy!

The GIBBO M.O.R.O.N. in the East (old, feeble Donald J. Dumbo) played his TWO (!!!) of clubs from A2 doubleton (!!!) at trick one, because he was too OVERWHELMINGLY stupid to unblock!

This SHOULD now have been a VERY well-deserved BOTTOM for Johnny Halfwit and Donald J. Dumbo, and a very UNDESERVED TOP for me, but I only scored 25.71 % on the board, because in many cases where South opened 1S, West was too dimwitted to lead a club.

Stupidity is basically GUARANTEED with anything and everything that these GIBBO pieces of garbage do. GIB/GIBBO sucks pumice.

At trick two, East (a disgusting, reprehensible embarrassment known as a GIBBO robot) makes one of his favourite (and usually braindead) plays: second hand HIGH, as he pops his club queen from Q4 dub. When I, South, duck, the hopeless M.O.R.O.N. actually continues CLUBS...because these GIBBO pieces of trash stupidly and perversely LOVE to lead and continue DECLARER'S suits.

Later in the hand, I lose a diamond to East's offside king, and - true to form - the simpleton immediately returns a...DIAMOND.

All bridge players make mistakes sometimes, but GIBBO robots do it non-stop, hand after hand after hand. They are the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low. There is no reason and indeed no excuse for their continued existence in a modern world where there ARE competent robots, as opposed to this unmitigated GIBBO garbage.

Superstooge in the East stupidly and cravenly pops his diamond king at trick two, sparing declarer an immediate guess. Then at trick four, his M.O.R.O.N.I.C. partner West plays second hand HIGH with the imbecilic pop of the spade queen from Q863.

GIBBO is a stain not just on bridge, but on the world. GIB/GIBBO's I.D.I.O.C.Y. is constant and unending. It is the worst.

North's bidding is a joke, but we get a good score anyway when EW botch the "defence". At trick five, instead of leading his 10 of hearts to trap North's jack, West leads his 5, allowing North to cover with the 6 and retain a heart stopper of J4.

West stupidly bids 2H instead of 2D. GIBBO robots are the worst bidders ever.

https://www.bridgeba...C6%7Cpc%7CS9%7C

[benellis58]

East fails to bid 1S over North's 1H. He is probably the only "bridge player" on the planet who would pass.

Then on "defence" the two GIBBO deplorables fail to take the ace of spades.

The fact that the "I" in GIB stands for |Intelligent" is a travesty. I know of NOTHING that is LESS intelligent than a GIB/GIBBO robot.

The GIBBO robots play inverted minor raises. As such, I think that regardless of result or layout on this or any other random hand, North had a better choice of bids than the 2NT that he chose.

I can't say that his 2NT is wrong in their system, but I firmly believe that 2D is superior. It shows basically the same strength (since he's a passed hand), but it also shows at least four diamonds, so it's a fuller description. Additionally, 2NT by North could easily be wrongsiding the contract, since his heart "stopper" is 863. Bidding 2D, although it is "forcing", would also give South the option of passing (as I would have done on this hand, given my bare minimum third seat opener and the fact that this was a "Best Hand" game). Finally, if NT is indeed the right spot and/or if a game exists, NS will be able to reach the right strain and/or level anyway over the inverted 2D.

We scored a decent but not great 65.63 % on this board for going down one in 3D. Over East's 2H, I considered doubling, depending on what the GIB definition of the double would be. I checked to see, and that is why I am writing this post. The GIB definitions are almost always really, really bad, but this one is a standout...even amidst the miasma of GIB!

"3+ diamonds; one heart; 17-21 HCP; 22- total points; likely stop in hearts".

First, why EXACTLY one heart?

But more laughably, this pathetic joke of a definition says early on that the double shows "one heart"...but later concludes by saying that it also shows a "likely stop in hearts".

Forget the fact that most GIB definitions are complete garbage, but did anyone ever even bother to proofread the garbage? It certainly does not seem so.

Why is the useless piece of GIBBO trash in the North jumping to three clubs...on his 6-count...and his flattish 3-2-3-5 shape...at unfavourable vulnerability...after his LHO has opened the bidding (showing "11-21 HCP" according to the GOB definition) and his RHO has redoubled ?

Why is the useless piece of GIBBO trash in the East freely and directly bidding 3H...on his "suit" of 8762...when his partner West (who redoubled South's takeout double_ could conceivably want to hammer 3C?

Here's the answer to both questions: They're both doing it - precisely because they are "useless pieces of GIBBO trash", and like all GIB/GIBBO robots, bridge is most definitely NOT a game they should be playing, because they absolutely stink at it.

And BTW, look at the typically useless, unnecessary, annoying, insulting first two words of the ALWAYS pathetic GIB definition of 3H: "New suit". Thanks SO much for that piece of WORTHLESS "information", Mr. GIB, but why don't you spend your time writing USEFUL definitions for once instead of the total drivel that we see almost all the time when we look at them?

Stupid lead. What else would you expect from a GIBBO robot? What else would you expect from a useless piece of garbage?

The wretched bidding of the nauseating GIBBO robots is almost constantly on display. When they open 2C, it's a REAL "treat", because their entire 2C structure is hopeless, antiquated, and extremely poorly designed. Add these laughably bad "tools" to the TOTALLY incompetent GIBBO "carpenters" using them, and you invariably have a recipe for disaster. I'll just discuss SOME of the lunacies in the hand described in this post.

East's 3NT is defined as showing "19-26 HCP". Did the creator of this useless joke of a system actually think it was a GOOD idea to have an...EIGHT(!!!) point range for the call? How is his poor partner supposed to judge intelligently whether or not to proceed, when the range is so ridiculously broad? Even if the GIBBO robot in the West was not a total M.O.R.O.N. (which, of course, he indisputably is, as are all the GIB/GIBBO trashcans), he would have to GUESS what to do. Was this system purposely designed to be the worst ever?

West GUESSES to bid a quantitative 4NT. Since he is largely in the dark about East's strength (thanks to the rotten GIBBO system and the worthless GIB definitions), I would have sympathy for him...except that the GIB definition of his 4NT bid claims that he's showing "11 HCP"...but he has ONLY 9! Oh yeah: REALLY good "strategy" to LIE to your partner...in an UNINTERRUPTED (!) potential slam auction!

When East chooses to accept the invitation by bidding 6NT, they have VERY luckily STUMBLED into a fifty percent contract that depends entirely on the club hook. Divine justice is served when the king is offside.

Trick four: West, a truly undisputed C.R.E.T.I.N. (as all GIBBO robots are), has the 1042 of diamonds. When his "partner" East wins the diamond king, West stupidly follows with the TEN (!!!) even though these disgusting M.O.R.O.N.S. play standard signals. Oh yeah, Mr. West: It's gotta be right to...mislead your PARTNER (!) when you're "defending" a doubled game. What a jerk - like every GIBBO robot! GIB/GIBBO = pure garbage.

At trick seven, having been LIED TO by his ignoramus of a "partner", East plays a spade. This in itself is not fatal to the "defence", but West completes his "stellar" performance by...winning his spade king (fine) and then...I,D.I.O.T.I.C.A.L.L.Y. returning a spade. Presto! West's MASTERPIECE is now complete, as declarer ends up losing ONLY one spade rather than the TWO he SHOULD have lost.

I believe that an award is given each year for the best defended hand. That's unlucky for West, because if there was instead an award for the WORST defended hand, he would be VERY likely to win it.

GIB/GIBBO "bridge players" are the worst "bridge players" I have ever seen. GIB/GIBBO rots in every way.
