Shared top of 92.31 % for "only" going one down in 4H. Typical BBO trump break of 5-0, and East merrily ruffs his partner's diamond winners.

Against South's 2NT, East wins his partner's trick one club lead with his king. Does he continue clubs? Of COURSE he doesn't. HE'S a stinking GIBBO robot, so he'd rather permanently unplug himself than EVER return his "partner's" suit. (What a GLORIOUS day it would be if these nauseating GIBBO robots DID unplug themselves...and then leave the planet Earth forever!).
The fool shifts to the heart jack. Then at trick five he cashes his heart king to make CERTAIN of setting up DECLARER'S queen before FINALLY and VERY belatedly playing a second round of clubs.
Much better to have GIBBO robots as your OPPONENTS than as your "partner"!

West led the 4 of clubs, so East SHOULD have known that it was either from 42 doubleton or a stiff 4. Thus, it was CLEAR for East to win trick one and then cash a second club at trick two, but the braindead GIBBO zombie stupidly switched to a spade, allowing me to take TWELVE tricks.
Every time I walk past a garbage can, I politely stop and say "Hello Mr. GIBBO. how are you doing today. Nice weather, isn't it?"

INCREDIBLE lack of intelligence, logic, consistency, and reliability from the GIBBO piece of trash in the North:
GIB defines his 2H call as "10+ HCP; forcing to 3NT". He actually DOES have 10 HCP, and given that his partner opened a 15-17 1NT, it indeed makes SENSE that he wants to force to 3NT. Bravo, Mr. North!
BUT...BUT...BUT...
East bids 2S, South passes, West passes, and North, in passout seat, now...PASSES!
HE, on the previous round, made a call FORCING TO 3NT (!), and now HE - in passout position - PASSES OUT EAST'S lowly 2S bid!!!
I, as South, was actually PLEASED to hear this, since I had operated (as I often do) by opening 1NT with a mere 14 HCP. We scored 94.12 % for beating 2S one trick, so all was fine...but that did NOT mean that North's auction was good. Regardless of result, his auction was nonsensical, and in addition to all the criticisms I mentioned in the first sentence of this post, his sequence was COMPLETELY undisciplined. There's a REASON that I constantly berate and insult GIB/GIBBO!

We reached the par spot of 6H (since 6NT fails on a spade lead), but with NO thanks to the ALWAYS hideous, antiquated, wildly illogical, downright hopeless 2C system mandated by GIB.
As I've said many times, the whole system stinks, but the worst part is GIB's incredibly stupid use of the 2NT response. Even back in the primitive era when GIB was created, I can't see why any bridge player would think this was a good use of 2NT. There are numerous reasons why it's insane for 2NT to be used as it is, but I've already pointed them all out several times in this essential thread that Diana was so wisely inspired to create, so I won't waste my time delineating them all again.
Just look at THIS auction, though, and note that because of the imbecilic GIB system, the WEAK hand takes command of the auction and becomes captain. Who ever thought that this clueless, backward approach was a GOOD idea?

Trick four: My imbecile of a "partner" decides to fool ME by playing the WRONG heart! I.D.I.O.T.!

As usual, my GIBBO "partner" bids like the complete I.D.I.O.T. that he is and that ALL his GIBBO brethren also are. The M.O.R.O.N.'S hopeless ignorance gets us to an "impossible" contract for NO reason.
And yet...we scored...100 % on the board! Why? Because fortunately we had two GIBBO robots "defending", and they "defended" as "well" as you would expect from two typically steaming piles of GIBBO trash.
But first, let's look at North's nauseatingly clueless bidding. I've mentioned before that the creator of the GIB system managed to give birth to one of the all-around most stupid, useless, illogical bidding systems in the history of the game...but to be fair, it has ONE good thing in it. That ONE good thing is Drury, which is a VERY useful and valuable convention.
So, on this hand, North correctly passed as dealer and then correctly bid 2C Drury after his partner South opened 1H in third seat. Hey, congratulations, Mr. North! You made an astounding TWO (!!!) consecutive correct calls! VERY impressive, because GIBBO robots often have great difficulty making even ONE correct call. You're a hero in the GIBBO world!
But then...at his third turn to bid...the "hero" falls from grace and exposes himself as a total imbecile, just like each and every other GIBBO robot that FOULS our planet. After North's excellent 2C call, his LHO East doubled (PATHETICALLY, INCOHERENTLY, and AMBIGUOUSLY defined by GIB in a truly MISERABLE piece of work, but at least showing "rebiddable clubs" and "KQ" or equivalent of clubs). Then South and West passed.
North is now in the passout seat. With his 2C Drury bid, he has ALREADY shown "3+ hearts; 11- HCP; 10-12 total points". Yes, it's yet another ineptly written definition of the kind we ALWAYS expect from GIB, but it does, in its own vague, lazy, clumsy GIB way, describe his hand. He really has no extras beyond what his Drury call ALREADY showed, so it should be obvious to anyone with an IQ above 6 to now bid a gentle 2H. Over that, South can pass with a minimum, leap to game with an appropriate hand, or perhaps invite by raising to 3H. South ALREADY knows roughly what to expect from North's upcoming dummy.
But GIBBO North obviously has an IQ below six, because he does not bid the OBVIOUSLY correct 2H.
"Oh, does he stupidly OVERBID by JUMPING to THREE hearts, despite having no extras?"
Nope. Worse. He makes the INCREDIBLY STUPID bid of 2S.
"Well, that's dumb, I agree, but at least South can now sign off in THREE hearts. Granted, you'd rather be in TWO hearts than three if South has a minimum or sub-minimum, but MAYBE 9 tricks will be available anyway if that's the case. But yes, bidding 2S was REALLY stupid."
All true, and I did sign off in THREE hearts and 3H was cold. EXCEPT THAT...North now RAISED (!!!) to FOUR hearts because he's a TERMINALLY stupid GIBBO robot (as they ALL are).
So here I was in an "impossible" 4H, thanks to the braindead GIBBO piece of garbage sitting across from me. But luckily there were two other GIBBO numbskulls present: West and East. Now, remember that East had shown GOOD CLUBS, so ALL West had to do was to lead a...drum roll, please...CLUB!!! But being a piece of slimy trash GIBBO robot, the ignorant bozo led a spade! I guess his 973 tripleton there was just TOO attractive to pass up!I now rolled 4H, pitching one of dummy's two CLUB (!) losers on a spade, and lost only two TOP diamonds and ONE TOP...CLUB...instead of two diamonds and TWO TOP CLUBS.
So, after my IMBECILIC "partner's" RIDICULOUS auction, we scored 100 % (instead of the ZERO that the M.O.R.O.N.'S woeful bidding deserved!), thanks to an equally RIDICULOUS and IMBECILIC lead by the GIBBO reject in the West. EVERY GIB/GIBBO robot stinks! They are the worst "bridge players" of all time!

West shows the world that he is not only a clueless "bridge player" but also a cowardly one, as he stupidly and cravenly passes over 3H instead of competing with a pretty obvious 3S.

Silly, illogical lead followed by scintillatingly ugly "defence".
So what ELSE is new with Frick and Frack?

After an uninterrupted enemy auction of 1C by South, 1S by North, 1NT by South, West wisely decides to lead one of the two unbid suits (diamonds and hearts). Bravo, Mr. West: You have just led us to believe that you are more clever than 99.99 % of your braindead GIBBO brethren.
But you have also confirmed that you are (far!) LESS clever than any human bridge players, because for Lord knows what reason, you opted to lead from your TWO-card red suit rather than from your FOUR-card one. Dweeb!

Looks like a sensible lead
You dont want to lead a black suit and you wont win any tricks developing Hearts so lead what may be partners longest suit
