Trick four: West makes the HILARIOUS play of OVERTAKING (!) his "partner" East's club jack with his ace!!! Apparently he RUSHED to do this because he was in a DESPERATE hurry to play his jack of diamonds (from his remaining J8 dub) to dummy's remaining stiff, HIGH king.

You CANNOT make this stuff up! If you were writing bridge fiction and included THIS play, critics would scoff, and say that NO ONE would be STUPID enough to do it. It would DESTROY any credibility your story or novel might have. GIB/GIBBO is the EPITOME of cluelessness, ignorance, and hopelessness. It is garbage - pure garbage.

Why is West bidding 2C to show an unidentified SINGLE-suiter? SURELY, if he wishes to intervene, it would be INFINITELY better to bid 2NT, showing both minors, because he has a TWO-suiter, NOT a ONE-suiter. GIB/GIBBO is the worst EVER.

Typically STUPID lead by Frick, resulting in yet ANOTHER complete zero for him and Frack. These GIBBO clowns get humiliated every day as badly as a collection of dweebs got humiliated elsewhere three days ago.

And SPEAKING of stupid leads, check out Frick's ridiculous spade lead here. Yeah, "anything" COULD be "right" or "wrong", but his DANGEROUS lead from queen-third is MUCH more likely to COST than a SAFE heart lead, and also probably less likely to GAIN than a heart lead.

Frick's silly lead, combined with Frack's foolish pitch of his spade guard, allowed me to...LAUGHABLY take...ALL 13 TRICKS!

GIB/GIBBO robots are just SO bad...ALL the time!

2H is defined as an "Aggressive weak jump overcall". I wouldn't exactly describe West as being "aggressive" (!) with THAT hand!

The poor sap went for his life anyway, mind you, thanks to the TYPICAL Hawaii Five-O that we see SO often on BBO.

Ho hum, another TRULY wretched "defence". Watch, in particular, how West plays his SPADES throughout the hand.

He just wanted to make sure partner remembered what his lead was, and that he did like his initial lead.
