ANOTHER one that worked out okay...but I really don't think that North's FOUR CLUB call (a typically beloved...and typically stupid GIBBO jump to four of a MINOR) is wise. Note, BTW, the ever-annoying ("Jump in competition" -thanks SO much for telling us that, GIB, because we NEVER would have figured it out otherwise) and ever-pathetic GIB definition of 4C. Note also that North LIED and also ignored his own GIB definition, because he MOST definitely does NOT have "5+ clubs". He has ONLY four lousy ones!

ANOTHER one that worked out okay.

"Interesting" four SPADE bid by North. Note that the GIB definition claims it shows "2+ spades". Well, I suppose he has them...IF you consider the STIFF (!) SIX (!) to be TWO...PLUS!!!

His own GIB definition also claims that his 4S call shows "14-18 total points". Well, okay...but that would be in support of DIAMONDS, not SPADES! In support of SPADES, his hand is worth 12 HCP...AND also only 12 "total" points...but I'll forgive GIB for that, because I've LONG been aware that GIB knows NOTHING about "total" points, so any reference GIB ever makes to "total" points should always just be ignored!

East wins his diamond 7 at trick three. Does he then play a spade, the suit his "partner" led? Of COURSE he doesn't. HE'S a GIBBO robot, so HE plays a CLUB, the suit DECLARER led.

Not only are these GIBBO trashcans among the absolutely worst "bridge players" of all time, but they are also CERTAINLY among the worst "partners" of all time. Please get rid of them and replace them with DECENT robots. That single move would INSTANTLY make BBO a much better site, by correcting its major flaw.

The horrific yet laughable GIBBO bidding system is antiquated, illogical, redundant, and all-around pathetic. I apologize for not mentioning that often enough.

[benellis58]

North makes a questionable pass at his first opportunity. He passes again at his second opportunity. THEN, at his third opportunity, he decides that he MUST...cuebid (!) three SPADES (!). Typical GIBBO "logic" and bidding "strategy".

Meanwhile, EAST bids Michaels, THEN bids 3C...ALL BY HIMSELF (as his "partner" West has promised nothing. The usual pathetic GIB definition of this silly 3C bid is "4+ clubs; 5+ spades; 17+ total points". FOUR plus clubs? FOUR plus???!!! Didn't his earlier Michaels call PROMISE at least FIVE spades and at least FIVE of a minor? So how come it's now merely "FOUR plus"??? All the MORE so, since if anything, his (ridiculous!) free (!) 3C bid should promise GREATER club length than previously shown. (He actually DOES have a sixth club, in spite of the useless and incorrect GIB nonsense about "4+".) And as for the "17+ total points": NO! He does NOT have them. He has a mere 14 HCP including a stiff king in the ENEMY suit (hearts), AND his side has NOT identified a legitimate fit, given that his "partner" West only bid 2S because he was FORCED by the 2H call to bid something.

Later, having ALREADY overbid, the GIBBO M.O.R.O.N. in the East bids FOUR spades, red against white...all by himself. It is STUPIDLY (as usual) defined as:

"4+ clubs". NO! As previously explained, his FIRST call promised FIVE or more clubs, and his SECOND should have shown at least six...and he does have six.

"6+ spades". Then why does he have only five?

"18+ HCP". NO! He has only 14...including a stiff king (!) in the ENEMY suit.

"19-22 total points". NO! And GIB knows NOTHING about "total" points anyway!

Total garbage, as usual, from GIB/GIBBO.

The braindead GIBBO piece of dirt in the East wins his club king at trick one and (stupidly, of COURSE) shifts (to a spade).

West wins his diamond jack at trick three and...goes BACK to clubs. He IS right to do so, but it shows the TOTAL lack of co-operation between GIBBO "partners", as NEITHER wants to EVER return the suit his "partner" plays. They are useless, clueless "bridge players" AND they are also among the WORST "partners" who have EVER played the game. They stink in every way imaginable.

The two fools now manage the astounding feat of BLOCKING the club suit, preventing them from taking the FIVE club tricks they had from the START of the hand.

These two C.R.E.T.I.N.O.U.S. GIBBO losers had SEVEN...TOP tricks (5 clubs, 2 hearts)...yet they allowed declarer to take EIGHT tricks!

Needless to say, Frick and Frack got a VERY well-deserved zero on the board and added it to their massive, world-famous collection of total failure. GIBBO robots rot!

East wins his spade jack at trick one. I hope you're sitting down, because what I'm about to say next is SHOCKING.

At trick two, East actually returns a spade! Yes, believe it or not, he actually returns his partner's suit!

BUT: Don't alert the press just yet, because after all East IS a cursed GIBO robot (worst of the worst, lowest of the low), so of COURSE he returns the WRONG spade. The nincompoop returns the SEVEN rather than the six, confirming what an absolute loser he is (just like ALL his GIBBO brethren).

West wins trick two and shifts to a CLUB.

Declarer takes eight tricks. Frick and Frack take ANOTHER complete zero.

GIBBO robots are by far the most hopeless AND nauseating THINGS I have ever seen anywhere, any time, or any place in the world of bridge. Take this hand, for example. Never mind the result, and never mind MY bizarre bidding (which I would only ever do at a table with three of these repulsive, disgusting GIBBO robots). Put that ALL aside and just look at North's truly insane three HEART bid. Uhh, maybe he forgot how to say the word "diamonds"? What a complete piece of garbage. But then again, I've known that since even BEFORE the first board I ever played with these dirtbags, because EVERYONE I knew who had already played with them had been telling me that for ages.

Another interesting thread:

[benellis58]

We scored 72.22 % for going down "only" one in 3H, but this post is ALL about the typically imbecilic, piece of trash GIB definitions.

1NT: The first two words of the definition are "Notrump opener". AMAZINGLY, I am NOT joking! Who in the Hell thought that these two words were a necessary (!) and intelligent way to begin this definition?

2H : The first four words are "Transfer completed to hearts". No KIDDING, GIB? Thanks so much for providing this essential information, which we never would have otherwise figured out.

2NT : "Invitational to 3NT game." Yes, GIB, we know...we KNOW...we KNOW (!!!) that 3NT is "game"...and if we DIDN'T previously know it, we would sure as Hell know it by now, after reading this unnecessary, useless, annoying, insulting TRASH in your stinking, rotten GIB definitions EVERY time an invitational 2NT bid is made. Enough! ENOUGH, already! And by the way, why the HELL would North NOW...all of a sudden...and belatedly...and inconsistently...NOW be inviting to 3NT after having previously PASSED (!!!) South's 2H? Answer: He wouldn't, but that is WAY too tough for total TRASH like GIB/GIBBO to figure out!

The definition then says that 2NT shows "5+ hearts". Guess what, GIB? We already knew that he had at least five because of his earlier transfer, so THAT is not new information. But he CANNOT logically have five PLUS at this point, because with that he would compete with 3H, not 2NT. Of course, that is probably WAY too difficult a concept for GIB to understand!

The pathetic definition of 2NT continues with more incorrect, ridiculous BILGE proving once again that GIB knows nothing, absolutely NOTHING about "total" points. In addition to ALL the other complete GARBAGE in this definition, it ends by saying "stop in spades", so I can only assume that GIB thinks 43 doubleton (!!!) is a spade stopper! GIB/GIBBO is the ABSOLUTELY worst I have ever seen! Complete, utter garbage in ALL respects!

3C : This JOKE of a definition claims that this shows "4-5 clubs" and exactly "2 hearts". Hey GIB, here's a question for you: If he had ONLY four clubs, why the HELL would he be bidding three CLUBS when he KNOWS that his partner has FIVE HEARTS? Answer: He WOULDN'T. so your putrid definition stinks, as usual.

3H : More pure garbage, but this post has already gone on long enough...and GIB/GIBBO have gone on WAY too long. Please destroy them and replace them with DECENT robots, DECENT definitions, and a DECENT system. They have been polluting this bridge site for far too long.

We had a shared top of 94.74 % for making ten tricks in 1NT, and had North invited with his PASSED hand, I obviously would have passed anyway with my mere 11 HCP, so I'm not complaining about the result...BUT...why DIDN'T he invite? It seems NORMAL to invite with his good 11 HCP, and these brainless dweebs OFTEN invite with far weaker hands. I think the answer is simply that GIBBO robots stink at all aspects of bridge and have no idea what they're doing.

West again demonstrates the foolish, absurd LOVE that the always hopeless GIBBO robots have for JUMPING to FOUR of a MINOR. Note that even his own GIB definition claims that the call shows "5+ clubs", yet the simpleton has only four...LOUSY...ones: 9732. The piece of trash GIB definition, BTW, begins with these three useless, needless, annoying, insulting words: "Jump in competition". Yeah, GIB, we already figured that out all by ourselves, and now, GIB, why don't YOU figure out how to get lost...FOREVER!

Trick 6: West's remaining clubs (trump!) are the K7 doubleton. He leads the ...7 of clubs (trump)...thereby LOSING his "GUARANTEED" (!!!!) TRUMP trick. Declarer South takes EIGHT tricks, MAKING his 2C contract EXACTLY for a shared top of 92.59 % ( with a miserable, but WELL-deserved 7.41 % for the GIBBO trash sitting East-West).

How "good" are the GIBBO robots at "defence"? THIS "good": Johnny Halfwit (well-liked by his fellow GIBBO imbeciles!) wins trick two with his spade king. At trick three, braindead HACK that he is, Halfwit cashes his spade ace! Yes, he DOES get another complete zero for his massive, world-famous collection of total failure.

Typically stupid GIB definition of 3NT: "13-18 HCP...". Only a hopeless, useless, antiquated, unworkable JOKE of a system like GIBBO would have such a vague, ridiculously broad SIX point range, making "partner" on many hands having to GUESS. Why not play something NORMAL, with a narrow, defined range for 2NT, and a separate narrow, defined one for 3NT? Further proof that GIBBO flat-out stinks.

South's 2S is STUPIDLY defined.

"Well, of COURSE it's stupidly defined, Ben," you're probably thinking. "It's a GIB definition, so we EXPECT it to be stupid and pathetic. Tell us something we don't know, Ben!"

You're right. I'm sorry. I apologize. Now here's WHY it's stupid:

It says he has "4+ clubs", "4+ hearts", and "4+ spades". I think he COULD have "only" three clubs, but he usually will have at least four, and I don't think he can have four PLUS of either major - he can have "only" four of each. But here's the MAIN flaw of this definition: It claims that South has "4- diamonds", yet it claims with great confidence that he has at LEAST four in THREE different suits (clubs, hearts, spades) and MIGHT even have more (ONLY in clubs, regardless of what the HOPELESS definition says about "plus" in the two majors). Well, GIB, here's a simple arithmetic lesson, since it looks like your elementary school teachers failed to tell you how to add. Four plus four plus four equals 12...so EVEN if South lacks a FIFTH card in any of his three suits, that ALREADY accounts for TWELVE cards, and he ONLY has thirteen in his hand. So, GIB, that means his diamonds are NOT "4-", as you so IGNORANTLY claimed, but ONE MINUS.

Here's my constructive suggestion for you GIB: LEAVE BBO IMMEDIATELY and GO BACK TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

The GIB definition of South's 2S also claims that he has "14-18 total points"...and only "total" points, mind you, so his HCP could easily be FEWER!

I disagree, because 2S should show a GOOD hand, and in fact I did have a GOOD hand: 19 HIGH CARD POINTS...and 23-24 "total" points, assuming that we have a fit somewhere (which is as yet unknown at the time of my 2S call).

BUT...as far as NORTH is concerned, since all HE knows about my South hand is what the miserable GIB definition said, I MIGHT have as FEW as 14 "total" points...so why the HELL is he LEAPING to FOUR spades with a mere 8 HCP and a LOUSY THREE-card spade holding of 632 tripleton? Answer: Because he's a GIBBO robot, so he has NO idea whatsoever of how to bid! He should bid THREE spades, whereupon I would obviously bid 4S anyway, so as USUAL his unilateral overbid gained NOTHING but could have LOST had I not had my moose.

Against South's 1NT, West leads the DEUCE of clubs. The GIBBO robots play FOURTH-best leads, so it looks like West probably has four clubs. South wins the trick with his 9 and leads the diamond 7 to West's Curse of Scotland and dummy North's queen. East wins his king and, imbecile that he is (yes, he is indeed a GIBBO robot!) SWITCHES to ace other heart, allowing declarer to take 9 tricks.

Yes, of COURSE he would have done better by returning a CLUB (the suit his "PARTNER" had LED) but he probably feared being expelled from the GIBBO union and forever ostracized, because GIBBO robi=ots HATE returning "partner's" suit and perhaps (?) also HATE any OTHER robot who does it!

Also, EVEN if East STUPIDLY decides to shift to a heart, SURELY it would be better to shift to a LOW one than to the ace. GIBBO robots rot.

In our latest episode of our almost yearlong soap opera, "As the GIBBO Garbage Turns", we look at North's awesomely stupid 3S bid. This is a FAVOURIRE imbecilic tactic of the GIBBO pond scum: basically REVERSING at a HIGH level with laughably insufficient values. Luckily we scored a decent 60.7 % on this board for going down "only" one, but that does not absolve the GIBBO piece of trash from ANY blame. Like all GIBBO robots, he is one of the worst "bridge players" of all time and is a total embarrassment to both the game itself and to any site that employs him. GIB/GIBBO is the worst.
