I've mentioned before that when I play in a game with three robots, I often operate and/or "experiment" and do bizarre things that I would never dream of doing in a "real" bridge game with humans. There are several reasons for this:

1. If my operation ends in a disaster, I hurt only myself, and not a (human) partner or (human) teammates,

2. It's fun...and nothing of importance is at stake. It's not as if a failed operation in a robot game is going to cost ne the Spingold.

3. Since I have three GIBBO robots at the table, I know right from the star that my "partner" is an ignorant, clueless C.R.E.T.I.N. who is absolutely and irredeemably hopeless at bridge, and that my opponents are equally woeful.

4. The operations turn out well more often than not. Why is that? Re-read point three above, and it will tell you exactly why.

THIS hand is a good example:

First, I bizarrely opened 1NT rather than a normal 1H. Then, opposite a silent partner and against two opponents who had bid up to 3D, I merrily trotted in with a 3H call. West passed, and my formerly silent partner "corrected" to 3S. East doubled and everyone passed.

It looked like this was going to be a FAILED operation, and against any DECENT pair it would have been. But our opponents were obviously not a "decent" pair, they were two typically clueless, imbecilic GIBBO robots, so 3S doubled actually made. Why? Because the simpleminded fool in the East made the remarkably stupid lead of a HEART (MY suit!) rather than EITHER minor (the two suits that the dweeb's "PARTNER" had shown),. Thus, I lost only three spades and the ace of clubs, as I was able to pitch BOTH of my two TOP diamond losers.

Consequently, I will continue to operate against these braindead, nauseatingly stupid GIBBO pieces of trash.

I scored 71.4 % on this board for going down "only" one in 3NT. My 3NT call was perhaps a bit pushy, but when pard opens a weak two in a game with three GIBBO robots, I tend to bid aggressively because I expect to get a truly wretched "defence" from the dweebs - and more often than not, I do,

On this hand, for example, although I didn't make it, the reason that I went down ONLY one is that West made a bad lead. Because he is a GIBBO robot, he is a MASTER of bad...and perverse leads, as he demonstrated here. On a relatively blind auction, and knowing only that North had a weak two in diamonds and South had a decent number of HCP (18-21 according to the GIB definition, although I actually had only 14), he was on lead with 108532, AK98, 4, K98. He tabled the 8 of hearts. In fairness, he probably did better than his immediate predecessors, the truly dreadful and repulsive GIB robots, would have done, because I had the equivalent of this auction many times against those hopeless C.R.E.T.I.N.S., and - imbeciles that they were - they VERY often led dummy's KNOWN six-bagger!

West's heart lead DID at least beat the contract, but not as much as the superior and more normal spade lead would have.

I scored 85.7 % on this board for going down "only" one in a contract of one lowly spade, so it worked out fine...but why DID North BID one SPADE in response to my ONE HEART opening with his J932, 652, Q97, K63? Surely 2H would be a more normal call for most players.

And regardless of result, note East's typically bizarre lead of a HEART on THIS auction, rather than a normal club lead. These drokes LOVE to lead OUR suits.

Another hand where the result is fine, but the bidding is perhaps questionable.

I don't think North's 4H call is terrible by any means, but it does NOT adhere to his own GIB definition, which states that he has "3+ hearts". Truth be told, I actually EXPECTED him to have "only" two hearts, DESPITE the definition, because...with THREE hearts, I don't think he would have made his negative double of West's 2S - I think he would have supported hearts.

So the REAL problem we're exposing in this post is yet another BAD GIB definition.

Another day. Ho hum. A day like any other. A day where the GIBBO robots prove over...and over...and over again...what disgustingly useless pieces of trash they are at the game of bridge.

[benellis58]

We got a decent score (78.6 %) on this board for beating 3H two tricks, but as always the score is not the story. As usual (sigh), the story is the absolutely unmatched stupidity of the stinking pieces of trash known as GIBBO robots.

EAST opens the bidding 1H. Fine and normal. He later balances over South's 1NT with 2C. Okay, I suppose. BUT he, still later, bids 3H over North's (INSANE) 2S. Enough is enough! He has now bid...all by himself...opposite a SILENT "partner"...up to THREE hearts...on a RAGGED (in context) heart suit of AQ864, and a mere TWELVE HCP. Like all GIBBO robots, he is an I.D.I.O.T.

NORTH, meanwhile, is also a truly wretched "bridge player", an absolute M.O.R.O.N., and one of the worst "partners" in the HISTORY of bridge. The piece of dirt bid 1S over South's double - fine and normal. But why the HELL did the sickening slimebag feel that he MUST "rescue" South from 2D by REBIDDING his spades...when his spades were a pathetic 10876 (!)...AND he had THREE DIAMONDS! This pencil-necked geek (thanks to the late, great Classy Freddie Blassie for the terminology!) didn't even come CLOSE to adhering to his own GIB definition, which stated that his (IMBECILIC) 2S call showed "rebiddable spades" (ha, HA, HA!!!) and "TWO...STOPS...in spades" (ha, HA, HA!!!).

Is there still ANYONE left ANYWHERE who can keep a straight face while attempting in vain to defend these miserable GIBBO losers?

Bad enough that the GIBBO jerk (aren't they all?) in the West makes one of his beloved (and more often than not STUPID) trump leads, but after the simpleminded twit wins his diamond ace, he is SO staggeringly C.R.E.T.I.N.O.U.S. that he then plays a SECOND heart. Why are these total losers still contaminating BBO with their presence? Why have they not been replaced by DECENT robots that at least have SOME idea about how to play bridge?

Not the brightest lead on this auction, and not the brightest shift. But what do you EXPECT from a useless GIBBO robot?

And speaking of "not the brightest", why does the goober in the East play his KING of hearts at trick six? Does this braindead oaf actually think his "partner" (who has ALREADY shown up with the AK of spades and ace of diamonds, by the way) is UNDERLEADING his heart ACE (an ace that he can't even HAVE at this point!)?

Another INSANE "rescue" from the blithering GIBBO I.D.I.O.T. in the North.

How do I hate thee, GIBBO? Let me count the ways.

On second thought, I don't think a large enough number exists to count them all.

OMARHEUM has sent three hands today. Needless to say, all three provide examples of the terminal sickness that infects, pervades, and ultimately ruins everything about GIBBO. Two of the three hands are EXCELLENT demonstrations of how INCREDIBLY, STAGGERINGLY hopeless these GIBBO pieces of garbage are at "defence". I'll discuss his other hand first, however, because it is the least interesting of the three, as it merely exposes their joke of a system and their total lack of bidding judgment, both of which we repeatedly see from these useless GIBBO derelicts day after day after day. Nothing special, therefore, in this post (2230), but don't miss the next two (2231 and 2232), because they provide classic entertaining examples of GIBBO brain rot.

So, here is (by far) the least exciting of OMAR's three hands today. Don't blame OMAR for South's stupid bidding, though, because this is a MANDATED auction, which means GIBBO made ALL the bids, thinks they are all perfect, and recommends them all. This in itself is a scathing indictment of GIBBO.

OMAR writes "South does not appear to have a 4S bid, especially since the hand looks like a misfit. I scored 56 % on the board for going down down two, which was the most common result."

My comments:

Lousy system.

Silly 4S bid. As OMAR noted, South should realize that the hand is a misfit, since North's invitation is in South's VOID. Also, North's 3D is defined as showing "2- spades", which literally means zero to two, so South's STUPID leap to 4S could have easily been opposite a singleton or even a void. The M.O.R.O.N. was lucky to buy TWO spades in dummy. South's spade suit (in the context of his typically poorly judged auction) is moth-eaten, his longest side suit, hearts, is four cards long and the HIGHEST one is the seven (!), he's VOID in the suit (diamonds) where his "partner" has shown length and strength, and he has a mere 13 HCP even though the GIB definition of 4S says he's supposed to have "15+ HCP".

The layout is a BBO specialty - one that seems to pop up on this site far more often than it does in "real" F2F bridge: a Hawaii Five-O trump break...OFFSIDE, of COURSE.

The second of OMAR's three hands today. He writes "I got 92 % on this board for making eleven tricks, as did 18 other human declarers. The most common result, though, was down one at 78 tables. The early club pitch by East helped me."

My comments:

Yes, OMAR, that (SUPER -M.O.R.O.N.I.C.) club pitch INDEED helped you. What kind of absolute I.D.I.O.T. would pitch a CLUB rather than a spade? Sorry. Silly question. The answer is WAY too obvious: a GIBBO robot, of course, for they are the undisputed KINGS of I.D.I.O.C.Y.

But even after the fleabrained gerbil stupidly pitched a club, the hand STILL had no play...against anyone but a piece of trash GIBBO robot. All the stooge had to do was duck the first club, but he was too blindingly stupid for even that childishly simple play.

GIBBO robots are a collective stain on the game of bridge.

Note also North's silly 2S bid and the expectedly pathetic GIB definition of it.

Here's OMAR'S third and BEST hand of the day. It not only exposes the truly abominable, execrable play of the GIBBO trashcans, but it allows us to laugh at them for the same reason that we laughed at The Three Stooges. The difference is that Moe, Larry, and Shemp/Curly/Joe/Curly Joe were merely acting as "Stooges", whereas the contemptible GIBBO robots really are stooges.

OMAR writes "I scored 93 % on this board, thanks largely, or perhaps entirely, to West's 'defensive play' in spades."

My comments:

Yes, the GENIUS in the West FAILED (at trick six, to overtake East's spade 9 with his jack and then cash the SETTING TRICK (!) with his spade 7!!!!!!!!!!!! This appears to be a new-found specialty of the GIBBO pond scum, because sometime in the past few days, another GIBBO bozo (sadly, the GIBBO bozo who happened to be sitting across from ME on the hand) ALSO failed to cash the setting trick.

Maybe these dismal jackasses really ARE getting worse?
