GIBBO robots are useless and hopeless. Please replace them with decent robots.

Typically stupid lead by the clueless GIBBO robot in the East, plus a silly "second hand HIGH" pop of the spade king (trump) at trick four by Supertwit in the West.

Okay, so we got a good score anyway on this board, but I want to point out two actions by the GIBBO robot (his name is Johnny Halfwit) in the North.

Why the HELL, regardless of result, would JH be leading the jack of diamonds from J954, KQ10, J107, Q76 against 4C rather than EITHER a much more attractive heart OR a spade, after his partner South OPENED 1S?

Then, at trick three, when JH decides to lead a spade, the first time that spades are being played by anyone on the hand, why, looking at a stiff 7 in dummy East, would he lead his spade JACK from J954?

Do these useless GIBBO jackasses play ALL their cards randomly?

I could see EAST choosing to compete to 3C...but WEST? WHY??!!!

[benellis58]

The lead was irrelevant since 10 tricks were open and shut for East-West in spades, but why is Johnny Halfwit leading a CLUB rather than a diamond on this auction?

Also, look at the stunningly stupid GIB definition of 4D. Would South REALLY be VOLUNTARILY bidding 4D if he had as few as three diamonds?

Could the GIBBO robots have "defended" better on this board?

Yes, they CERTAINLY could have.

Pro tip: ANY time you are asked that question about GIBBO robots, there is a GOOD chance that if you give that same answer, you will be correct - even without looking at the hand.

Don't look at the board yet. Just give the answer recommended in post #1446, immediately above this one. Just as a reminder, the recommended answer for ANY time ANYONE asks you that question is "Yes, they CERTAINLY could have".


Okay, now you can look at the hand. As you can see, you got the answer correct. Well done! See how EASY it is to answer that particular question?

A look into the "mind" of a GIBBO robot and his MIND-NUMBING bidding "logic":

He NEVER shows his SIX-card heart suit. "Why would I EVER even THINK of showing my mere SIX hearts when I have a truly GREAT 4D bid with my...STIFF FIVE?", asks the braindead GIBBO lump!

Seriously, please toss these absolute zeroes into a trash compactor and pull the switch.

The link here is to my table. In the post immediately after this one, I will post a link to the same hand at a different table, where, after a different initial action by the human South, the West robot actually DID bid his hearts. Will wonders never cease?

Okay, at my table:

[benellis58]

As promised, here is the same hand as the one in post #1449 immediately above, but from another table.

Here the human South passed (!) over East's 1D opener, rather than overcalling 2C as I had done. He LATER bid 3C...and 4C, but then, whereas "my" West stupidly never bid his six-bagger in hearts, the West at THIS table bid it...TWICE, with his calls of 3H and 4H.

The final contract at this table was 4H by West, so North led a CLUB, right? After all, it was the suit that his partner South had bid TWICE, once at the THREE level and once at the FOUR level. So of COURSE North led the 100 % OBVIOUS club, right?

Wrong. North is that species of SLIME known as a GIBBO robot, and GIBBO robots HATE to lead PARTNER'S suit. They do, however, LOVE to lead ENEMY suits, so...of COURSE the C.R.E.T.I.N.O.U.S. donkey led a...SPADE, declarer's first suit (!)...INTO declarer.

Can IQ scores be in NEGATIVE numbers? If not, then the scale need to be changed, because the IQ of GIBBO robots MUST be below zero!

Give the North hand to a BRIDGE PLAYER and he will respond 1S to South's 1D opening bid. He will quote Al Roth and say "What's the problem?"

Give the same hand in the same situation to a GIBBO robot and, as you can see, the ignorant dweeb will...PASS.

I suggest that "GIB", which HILARIOUSLY stands for "Ginsberg's Intelligent (!!!) Bridgeplayer" (sic!) should have the middle word changed to either "ignorant", "imbecilic", or "I.D.I.O.T.I.C." in order to make the description accurate and honest.

[benellis58]

Oh no, Mr. West, don't even DREAM of leading YOUR suit against South's 3NT, which would...beat the contract by two tricks.

By ALL means, Mr. West, lead the 10 of hearts from your 109 doubleton, and in so doing, show the entire WORLD how totally clueless, hopeless, and unbearably STUPID you are, as declarer EASILY makes two overtricks.

Yes, Mr. West, your ridiculous, harebrained lead cost your side FOUR tricks! Declarer took ELEVEN, when a spade lead would have held him to SEVEN. But by all means, you ultimate loser, keep ON with your totally braindead style of leads. Jerk!

Sadly, I will probably not live for another thirty-five years, and that is probably how long it would take me to detail ALL the "defensive" errors on this ONE hand, followed by a detailed analysis of how, why, and to what UNSURPASSED extent the GIBBO robots totally rot, so I ask you, dear, devoted readers, to look at the hand and examine for yourselves just how INCOMPARABLY atrocious these repulsive and disgusting GIBBO clowns are.

Hint: Do not attempt this task after eating greasy foods, fried foods, or any large meal, and by ALL means avoid even the tiniest drop of alcohol,

Second hint: Make sure that you are sitting down.

Third hint: Have a full glass of water nearby, along with anti-nausea medication legally prescribed by a qualified mebical doctor.

Trust me: After analyzing the robotic "defence", you will thank me profusely for my safety recommendations.

Ignorant simpleton in the North bids 3D instead of 3C.

Meanwhile, ALL the GIB definitions in this hand are pathetic, which is no surprise at all. Particularly amusing is that South's 4H is described as a "cue bid", which is completely ridiculous to begin with...and then becomes even MORE ridiculous when the same hopeless GIB definition later says "no ace of hearts". We're already DEEPLY into the bowels of Bizarro World, but we're now going even DEEPER into the insane GIBBO universe, because if 4H was indeed a cue bid (which in and of itself is completely deranged) AND denies the heart ace, then that must mean (in their world of madness) that South is VOID in hearts! And if that is the case (which of course in any RATIONAL milieu it is NOT), then why the HELL would North PASS 4H, as he CORRECTLY did?

As much as I constantly berate the GIBBO robots, as much as I loathe and detest them, as much as I have nothing but complete contempt for them, I am forced to concede that even THEY (the lowest of the low, the worst of the worst), even THEY are "clever" enough to realize that GIB definitions are TOTAL garbage and to therefore here IGNORE the piece of trash GIB definition of 4H.

https://www.bridgeba...SJ%7Cmc%7C10%7C

[benellis58]

The definition of North's 3S does not correspond to North's hand...and why SHOULD it, since only a GIBBO robot would be such a jackass as to COMMIT that incorrect, misleading bid.

The fact that on THIS auction GIB/GIBBO considers South's subsequent 4NT call to be KCB for SPADES defies ALL logic, but I decided to bid it anyway, because I figured that if I bid ANYTHING else, the M.O.R.O.N. sitting across from me would likely self-destruct. I would actually LOVE to see him and ALL other GIBBO robots self-destruct (LITERALLY!), and the sooner the better, but sadly if the twit did it on THIS hand he would take me down with him.

Another wretched "defence":

[benellis58]

Even though both 7H and 7NT happen to be cold, the 6H contract is certainly reasonable, given that NS are missing four hearts to the QJ. What is NOT reasonable is that NORTH, with the WEAK hand, STUPIDLY made himself "captain" and took control of the auction.

This hand is a typical example of the wretched 2C structure FORCED on players by GIBBO.

West's heart lead is peculiar, but luckily (PURELY luckily!) finds East with good hearts.

East wins trick one and makes what certainly LOOKS like, and in practice IS, an absurd shift to CLUBS. The hopeless dolt can't even play the CORRECT club. Even that simple, BASIC act is MUCH too tough for the *****ous sloth. He plays the FIVE of clubs from K54 tripleton. I have seen inchworms with more intelligence than this pathetic GIBBO dipstick.

Declarer wins the club SIX in dummy, as West follows the PERVERSE style of his hopeless and clueless GIB predecessors by playing third hand LOW, because, as HE puts it, "Why would I want to WASTE my club 8 or 9 now, when they will probably each take MULTIPLE tricks later?" Yes, like you, I am wondering if West partakes in the consumption of hallucinogenic substances.

At trick three, Declarer calls for dummy's club 7. East says out loud, "Well, if my partner can play third hand LOW, I can certainly play second hand HIGH, because I too remember the lessons of my esteemed GIB predecessors. The only thing I CAN'T figure out is why they LOST all the time." With that, he of COURSE pops his club king from his remaining K4 doubleton.

In fairness, it must be stated that neither West's third hand LOW play nor East's second hand HIGH play cost EW any tricks here, but that does not alter the fact that both were not only nutso but were also throwbacks to the disgusting habits and total incompetence of the sickening GIB robots and their ludicrously bad "philosophy".

Meanwhile, after West wins his spade ace at trick four, he does NOT play an OBVIOUS heart (remember: East won the lowly JACK of hearts at trick one, after West's illogical lead LUCKILY struck paydirt!) The inept fleabrain plays...a third round of CLUBS (!!!), allowing a grateful declarer to take ALL the remaining tricks.

Needless to say, the absolute I.D.I.O.C.Y. of the hopeless and completely USELESS GIBBO robots "earned" them yet another complete zero to add to their ever-expanding museum of SHAME and DISHONOUR. They reek. They rot. They are the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low. That they were not LONG AGO consigned to a garbage dump or a landfill is a travesty - as well as a slap in the face to the game of bridge.

Let's look at the "logic" and "consistency" of GIBBO robots in a common, simple bridge situation: what to do when partner opens 1NT. Here's what GIBBO North did on four hands all from the same day:

One: East passes as dealer. South opens 1NT. North bids 2C. East passes. South bids 2H. West passes. North bids 2NT, denying a four-card major and inviting pard to bid 3NT. North has 83, J32, AQ84, J432.

Two: South deals and opens 1NT. West passes. North passes. North has J10, AQ54, 8632, J104.

Three: North and East pass. South opens 1NT. West passes. North passes. North has QJ, 1084, KQ754, 1093.

Four: East passes. South opens 1NT. West passes. North passes. North has 9654, 7, AJ1064, Q98.

In all four hands, East-West passed throughout. In all four hands, South opened 1NT. In the first three hands, North had 8 HCP. In the fourth he had 7 HCP. let's examine what he did.

In "One", holding no four-card majors, he bid "Phony Stayman" in order to later bid 2NT, inviting his partner to bid 3NT. His auction COULD sometimes lead to a making game, but I think conventional wisdom is to PASS INT with his "mere" 8-count, no majors, a flattish 2-3-4-4, and no exceptional trick source. I suspect most humans would pass 1NT with his hand.

In "Two" he DID pass...with a hand VERY similar to "One". Already, he is INCONSISTENT. He also has an 8-count here, and he has the exact same shape, but in different suits, as here he is 2-4-4-3. Note, however, that while the hands are very similar, "Two" is a BETTER hand than "One". BOTH hands have an AQ combination in one suit and a jack in two other suits...BUT "Two" ALSO has two TENS and BOTH the tens are in combination with the jacks, whereas "One" has NO tens. "Two" is CLEARLY better. Furthermore, "Two" actually HAS a four-card major (hearts), making a potential Stayman bid MUCH more enticing than in "One", which had NO four-card majors. CLEARLY if you're going to bid over pard's 1NT opener on (only) one of these two hands, it makes FAR more sense to do so on "Two" than on "One". As is SO often the case with these utterly horrendous and hopeless GIBBO robots, North got it exactly BACKWARDS.

In "Three", North again passes, although his hand DEFINITELY has more potential than "One" (where he DID bid!) does. Like "One", "Three" has 8 HCP and no four-card major...but "Three" (like "Two") ALSO has two tens. Even more importantly, "Three" has an EXCELLENT trick source with the five-card diamond suit to the KQ. Once AGAIN, if North was going to bid over pard's NT opener on (only) one of these two hands (this time "One" and "Three"), it would make FAR more sense to do so on "Three" than on "One". Once AGAIN, the execrable GIBBO robot in the North got it exactly BACKWARDS.

In "Four", North again passes. Here, it's true that he has "only" 7 HCP...BUT...he has four SPADES and has five nice diamonds in a shapely 4-1-5-3 hand. There is a LOT to be said for bidding Stayman, because it might be a lot better to play in spades or diamonds than in NT. In fact, you might well have a GAME in spades if pard has a suitably fitting hand. The problem is likely that in the STUNNINGLY bad way that GIBBO so GROSSLY abuses and misuses Stayman, it could lead to trouble...although it could also lead to great success. In a DECENT system (of which there are MANY) rather than the total disaster that GIBBO uses, it would be a BREEZE to bid Stayman with no worries at all, but GIBBO, as usual, is utter garbage.

Bottom line: On these four relatively similar hands from the same day, the disgusting GIBBO robot in the North clearly demonstrated not only his complete and ridiculous inconsistency but also his absolutely pathetic ignorance of how to evaluate a hand. Please get rid of these useless GIBBO robots and replace them with decent ones.
