Gee what marvelous bidding by the GIBBO robots sitting East-West - NOT!

East opens 3S with a hand that is WAY too good for a pre-empt and then West - with a GOLDEN 24 HCP (!) and first or second round controls in ALL FOUR suits meekly PASSES over East's 4S.

A grand slam is cold on the layout in no trump, spades, and clubs, but missing four spades to the queen you probably don't want to chance 7NT or 7S unless you are gambling for a top and willing to risk a bottom. But looking at only the East and West hands, seven CLUBS looks like a very good spot...and if you don't have the tools or ability to find that, you should SURELY at least find 6S.

But it's hard to reach this slam if East is a wimp and West is a craven coward...as these two GIBBO robots obviously are.

And the funniest thing of all is that the GIBBO robots are usually egregious OVERbidders!

This worked out fine, but it sure as Hell wouldn't have worked out fine if West had led a high diamond. Why on EARTH would North bid 3NT rather than 4H over South's 3H, which PROMISED three hearts? On almost EVERY hand, the GIBBO robots CONTINUE to convince me that they are among the worst bridge players of all time.

Why the HELL is West balancing with three CLUBS when he holds 9854, K9, A1065, J107? And - not exactly shocking - the ignorant bozo's call does NOT match his own GIB definition of "4+ clubs; 2- hearts; 11- HCP; 11-12 total points". In addition to LAUGHABLY having only three clubs, where...where...WHERE are his "11-12 total points"? Fix the hopeless robots. Fix the useless definitions. And the lunacy is not over, because...

North and East pass, and South competes with 3D. The LOON in the West now compounds his ridiculous 3C call by NOW bidding...3S. Three SPADES! Thanks to the hopeless GIBBO system and the pathetic GIB definitions, this call has EXACTLY the same definition as his earlier 3C call. These robots are a JOKE. Their system is a JOKE. Their definitions are a JOKE.

West's partner East PASSES his lowly ONE CLUB call. You know what? My guess is that East doesn't have much!

Yet when South competes with 1D in the passout seat, West DOUBLES for takeout. Gee, he must have a REALLY big hand to do that opposite a partner who couldn't even respond to his 1C opening, right? Right? Right? Well then, let's LOOK at his "REALLY big hand":

Q875, KQ93, A6, Q93. A mere THIRTEEN (!) HCP...with 6 of those 13 points in QUEENS, two of them lonely, unsupported queens. Only one ace, only one king. An almost pancake flat 4-4-2-3 shape. This jerk is living up to his reputation as one of the worst bidders the world has ever seen. And of course - of COURSE - his hand does not match his own GIB definition, which promises "16-22 tptal points". Where ARE those total points, Mr. GIB?

The GIBBO robot sitting West teaches us all about sacrifice bidding:

The GIBBO robot sitting East...opposite a partner who has passed throughout the auction...decides to bid his "second suit" at the THREE level. What is his "second suit"? Well, his HAND is 1085, AKQJ7, J102, QJ...and he apparently FIRMLY believes that his "second suit" is...CLUBS...because he bids three CLUBS on his QJ doubleton.

And - shock of shocks - he has once AGAIN ignored his own GIB definition, which promises "3+ clubs" (and even THAT is ridiculous!).

Were the GIBBO robots ALL dropped on their heads during their infancy?

The braindead GIBBO robot sitting East fails to give his partner his one hundred percent obvious heart ruff at trick three. Is it because these disgusting fools treat all spot cards interchangeably? Is it because they don't trust their "partner" (which I suppose would make sense, since they KNOW that their partner is an absolute imbecile)? Or is it because of that "dropped on head during infancy" thing? WHATEVER the reason, it's FURTHER proof that these clowns rank with the worst bridge players of all time.

Look at North's typically hopeless bidding. Why two CLUBS when he has four HEARTS? Why a TYPICALLY useless, meaningless, downright STUPID 3D?

Better question: Why haven't the GIBBO robots been kicked to the curb and replaced with robots who have a CLUE about how to play bridge?

Yes, they LOVE to lead DECLARER'S suit, don't they?

West wins his spade ace at trick four. At trick five he cashes his high club and then at trick six plays...another spade. That was NOT hard to guess, was it, since West is a GIBBBO robot and they LOVE to return the suit DECLARER just played? The only surprise is that he cashed his club first!

I have played thousands of hands with and against the GIBBO robots and am still in awe of how absolutely hopeless they are at bridge. They totally rot. They are pathetic.

[benellis58]

Look at the wild, undisciplined, STUPID lead the GIBBO robot makes - a foolish lead that could easily be eliminating an otherwise guaranteed defensive trick and/or that could give away the whole spade suit. The fool lucks out when neither of THOSE scenarios occurs, but his imbecilic lead might STILL have cost him a plus score. After his witless lead, 6NT was cold via two top spades, the heart ace, five diamonds (even if diamonds break 5-0), and at least four clubs. To be fair, the only lead to give the defence a chance was a heart (as 6NT is cold on a lead of clubs, diamonds, or spades)..but of those three suits, the MOST dangerous and the MOST likely to blow the defence is a spade, which of COURSE is what the ignorant GIBBO robot chose.

Let's pretend there's a knockout tournament coming up. Two GIBBO robots approach you and your partner. They say they are very good at IMPs and ask your pair to team with them. "We'll probably win," the robots say, because we're REALLY good at IMPs".

Do you agree to form a team with them? Well, I'll give you some advice: Before answering, look at how they "defend" the hand linked below.

You know what? I think they will be searching...in VAIN...for teammates...until the end of time, because...they absolutely ROT at IMPs just like they absolutely ROT at anything and everything in bridge. Here's some proof:

The GIBBO robots sitting EW got a RARE decent score here: 67.9 % for making 2S doubled (with NS scoring 32.1 %)...but that doesn't mean that East's 2S on his shoddy suit (and knowing that North had at least four) was a good call (especially when he also had five hearts).

But the REAL reason I'm posting this hand is the GIB definition of North's double: "1- diamond; 10-11 HCP; biddable spades; 12- total points".

"1- diamond"? North has FOUR diamonds! This is his hand: K864, K, A1073, 10842. Once AGAIN a GIBBO robot has ignored his own GIB definition! Maybe it's...DUH...time to change the definitions to reflect REALITY!

Why it pays to just blast into a game when you're playing with and against the clueless saps known as GIBBO robots:

Check out the MONSTROUSLY stupid lead by the ALWAYS-MONSTROUSLY stupid GIBBO robot in the West seat.

Have I ever mentioned that in my entire life I have never EVER seen even a SINGLE human bridge player as strikingly hopeless and disgustingly inept at bridge as the repulsive GIBBO robots? Oh, I HAVE? Well then, sorry for the repetition, but I confess that I'll probably say it AGAIN at some point, because the GIBBO robots are just SO bad!

South shows a flat hand with 22-24 HCP. North transfers to HEARTS and then bids 3NT, which becomes the final contract with South declaring.

West is on lead with J107, KJ7, 5432, 862. What does he lead?

Well, since he's a GIBBO robot, which means that he is one of the worst and most clueless "bridge players" in the history of the world, the dimwit leads...the 7 of HEARTS!

No, it does NOT work out well for him. (Does it EVER work out well for these lowbrow twits?)

Forgetting about the result, why the HELL is North bidding four DIAMONDS with 832, 763, 3, AK9652? Oh, wait - I think I know the answer: He's doing it because he's a GIBBO robot, which means that he's a total M.O.R.O.N. who hasn't got the foggiest idea of how to play bridge...or even of how to adhere to his own GIB definitions, since GIB defines his 4D call as "...2-4 diamonds...".

And again forgetting about the result, why the HELL is West leading a CLUB on this auction? Answer: Same answer as there was to the FIRST question! It is long past the time to either DRASTICALLY improve the GIBBO robots or to SCRAP them and replace them with DECENT ones that have a CLUE about how to play bridge.

The typically pathetic GIB definition of North's double doesn't say much and what it does say is either useless, wrong, or ignored by the GIBBO robot in the North.

"4+ diamonds". We ALREADY knew that when he responded 1D.

"12+ HCP". Oh, REALLY? His hand is J8, 96, A8632, AJ102. I see a mere TEN HCP, not "12+", which literally means 12-37. So he has two points fewer than the MINIMUM he promised and 27 fewer than his theoretical maximum.

"13+ total points". WHY? Where did this figure MAGICALLY appear from? Show your work, Mr. GIB. Why is this hand worth 13 or more "total" points...especially considering that NO fit has thus far been established?

"Forcing". What? WHY? What if South wants to pass, converting the double for penalties?

As usual, a useless piece of GARBAGE as a GIB definition, and as usual the GIBBO robot IGNORES his own GIB definition. It really IS time to take out the trash.

Did a GIB robot push the GIBBO robot in the West out of his chair? I'm asking because the nonsensical lead of the stiff 9 of hearts is something that I would EXPECT from a GIB robot...but not from a GIBBO robot. Although the GIBBO robots are ATROCIOUS, HOPELESS "bridge players", they are - hard as it is to believe - better (!) than the even MORE atrocious GIB ones were. Lorserker improved their leads and a few other things...but on THIS hand the West robot is JUST as EXCRUCIATINGLY stupid as his GIB predecessors were.
