I'm going to use this post (2441) and the next (2442) to show the same hand at two different tables. Please read both posts for a demonstration of how COMPLETELY illogical, how WILDLY inconsistent, and how MIND-BLOWINGLY stupid the GIBBO robots are. I know, I know: That's not exactly headline news, because we've known all that for a long, long time.

At my table, I, South, opened 1NT as dealer, showing, as per the GIB definition, "15-17 HCP".

My GIBBO robot "partner" (and therefore a known M.O.R.O.N.) immediately leapt to seven no trump. True, he had a very nice 20 HCP, including a great five-bagger in hearts, but since I might have had as few as 15 HCP (and in fact DID have "only" 15), we might well have been off an ace. We had all the bidding space in the world until the imbecile jumped SIX (!) levels. At the very least, even though he's FAR too stupid to conduct an intelligent auction, he could and should at least have checked for aces.

The hopeless trout didn't even respect his own GIB definition, which claimed that his 7NT call showed "21+ HCP".

He lucked out, because we happened to have all the aces (although we might well not have!), but we still had only 12 GUARANTEED top tricks. We had several chances for a thirteenth, though, and in practice I made the grand slam, so I'm not complaining about either the contract or the result, but North's bidding was as STUPID as usual.

But what really made this hand worth discussing is the comparison with what happened with it at another table, as you will see in the next post (2442). First, though, here's the link to the hand at my table:

Now here's what happened with the same hand described in post # 2441 immediately above, but at a different table.

At this other table, South opened 1S rather than 1NT. North bid 2H and South JUMPED to 3NT, showing, as per the GIB definition, "17-20 HCP". He actually had only 15 (!), but that's irrelevant to our post here, because his robot "partner" in the North justifiably thought (due to the definition) that South had at LEAST 17 and perhaps as many as 20.

Over South's 3NT, North leapt to...ONLY (!)...SIX (!) no trump!

At MY table North knew that I could have as few as 15 and that I had at most 17, but he (STUPIDLY) leapt to SEVEN no trump, even though we could have been missing an ace.

At THIS (other) table, North thought that South had at LEAST 17 HCP, and possibly as many as 20. He therefore KNEW that the combined NS partnership assets were between 37 and 40 HCP. First, that meant that unlike at my table, they could NOT be missing an ace. Second, it meant that they had the textbook benchmark (37 HCP) for a grand slam, yet he bid ONLY 6NT...and didn't even bother to investigate a grand!

These GIBBO jerks got the hand completely BACKWARDS at BOTH tables...bidding 7NT when they should NOT have, and signing off in 6NT when they SHOULD have bid the grand.

These GIBBO pieces of garbage should adopt the George Costanza philosophy of always doing the opposite of what they think is right, because they have no idea how to play bridge. They are the lowest of the low, the worst of the worst. They are a stain on bridge and a humiliation to BBO. GIBBO robots rot...but at least they give us a lot of laughs with their incendiary ignorance.
