We got 50 % on this board when the opponents made two overtricks in 2S. Given the friendly layout for them (spades 3-2 with the queen onside, hearts 3-2), they can always make at least 10 tricks on any lead (and 11 tricks if we don't cash our diamonds), but having said that, my "partner" made a bad lead (even if it didn't cost). Why not a CLUB (the suit I opened, AND a suit where he has HELP with the jack and ten) rather than his typically stupid, yet (PERVERSELY!) BELOVED lead of a worthless doubleton heart? Even a diamond would have made more sense - but don't EVER expect "sense" from a braindead GIBBO robot!

Yeah, I falsecarded, but two DECENT defenders would still have found their heart ruff. Not these two GIBBO numbskills, though.

West's BELOVED lead of a worthless doubleton works out (for ONCE!) and he gets his ruff...but it doesn't help his SCORE, because Frick and Frack then absolutely BUTCHER the spade suit with their typically IMBECILIC plays, allowing me to pitch my heart loser and make an overtrick. These GIBBO robots continue to stink the joint out.

I think North's typically BELOVED lead of a worthless doubleton is PARTICULARLY foolish here: a spade (declarer's KNOWN...FIRST suit...of at least five cards...INTO declarer). Fortunately, we still beat the contract two tricks and scored 100 %, thereby allowing Frick and Frack to add yet ANOTHER zero to their huge collection.

Another reason to operate against these abominable GIBBO losers: They don't SIGNAL, so results like this occur: They can take the first FIVE heart tricks, but because they STUPIDLY don't signal, West shifts at trick two and I take TWELVE tricks. GIBBO robots are not "just" trash - they are the WORST kinds of trash.

OMARHEUM has sent another hand. This one is really outside of our mandate, since OMAR played it in a "BEN" game, not a GIBBO one. I'm showing it here anyway, but only as a one-time exception, because our mission statement is to bash GIB/GIBBO, not BEN or anyone (or anything) else.

OMAR writes "We can't make 5S, but we should defeat 5H even with the club position favouring declarer. But my partner tosses the 10 of diamonds and declarer works it out to make 5H for 14% for us."

Yep, very stupid play by the BEN robot. I bet GIBBO would be happy to hire him: He has the appropriate "skill set" to fit in VERY well with GIBBO (ha, ha!).

At trick two, the GIBBO robot in the West wins his offside club king. At trick three, the C.R.E.T.I.N.O.U.S. dolt returns a...CLUB...because these complete imbeciles stupidly LOVE to return the suit DECLARER just played. There is NO hope for these witlings, which is why they should be incinerated and replaced with DECENT robots.

This board was played 10 times. The auction was identical at all 10 tables and the lead was identical at all 10 tables.

At 9 tables, including mine, declarer went down two and scored 55.56 % on the board. At the tenth table, declarer went down four and scored zero. But that is all just background info. The REASON I am posting this hand is because of the opening lead made at ALL tables...by a GIBBO robot exposing his IGNORANCE.

From QJ983 of clubs, after your RHO opens 2NT in third and all pass, it is OBVIOUS that the correct lead is the queen (because, among other things, you might pickle a singleton or doubleton club 10), but the GIBBO nitwit led the NINE! Note that this is not even his fourth-best, so he can't even use the FEEBLE excuse that he leads fourth-best. And BTW, even if he HAD led his LEGITIMATE fourth-best (the 8), it would STILL have been a stupid lead.

He escaped on THIS random hand, as it didn't cost, but on many OTHER random hands and layouts, it could easily have cost. I suppose the ONLY bright light is that he at least led a club, because his immediate predecessors, the truly execrable GIB robots, would probably have shot out their stiff 4 of spades - as they were OFTEN wont to do before Lorserker slightly improved their HORRENDOUS opening lead "strategy" (if you'll PARDON that word choice, which I admit is COMICAL when applied to GIBBO robots!).

With hearts 3-3, declarer can always take 9 tricks, so the WITLESS "defence" by Frick and Frack did not cost, but it is still worth exposing in our ongoing crusade to rid BBO (and the WORLD) of these repulsive GIBBO abominations.

Why do EW abandon clubs after two rounds? Why does East play the NINE of clubs from his remaining 1097 at trick two? And perhaps most ridiculously of all, why does the lamebrain in the West shift at trick three to the MISLEADING, INCORRECT NINE (!) of hearts from 1093?

Please, BBO, throw these worthless pieces of junk into an incinerator, a trash compactor, or a landfill - where they belong. Please rid the world of these STAINS on the face of bridge. Please replace them with robots that at least have a CLUE about bridge.

Had West led his stronger four-bagger (hearts) rather than his weaker one (clubs), he would have caused me to regret greedily bidding 3NT rather than 4S. Luckily, he (typically!) made a poor choice, as I expected he would...and as I always expect GIBBO robots will.

Thanks for the 100 %, Mr. West. Will you now have to buy a NEW warehouse? I ask because I am well aware of how MASSIVE your collection of zeroes is, and while I suspect you have many warehouses where you store them, they might all be overflowing by now.

Somewhere in the universe there are probably many things more disgusting and sickening than the GIBBO robots. But if we limit our discussion solely to BRIDGE, I cannot imagine anything...anywhere being more repulsive or nauseating than GIBBO robots. They are the worst. I have nothing but contempt for them.

[benellis58]

BRILLIANT "declarer play" by East. The heart hook WINS the first time, but he's CONVINCED that it won't win a second time, so he SPURNS the second heart hook.

Spoiler alert: The robot "declarer" could have done better.

But please, please, PLEASE tell me again about how the GIBBO robots are "better than most human players". PLEASE! I always ENJOY... comedy!

We scored 53.6 % for going one down in 4S, but why did the M.O.R.O.N. in the North BID 4S? Answer: Because he's a GIBBO robot, so he knows SQUAT about bridge, just like ALL his equally ignorant GIBBO brothers and sisters.

Okay, we scored 92.9 % for making 3H...but why is North BIDDING 3H in DIRECT, non-passout seat? He's red against white, he has nothing special beyond his earlier 2H bid, and he has ONLY three hearts, despite his own GIB definition stating that his call shows "4+ hearts". The piece of GARBAGE didn't gain anything by his bid, as, on THIS hand I would have bid the SAME 3H in passout seat even if the jackass had passed. So, as usual with these slimebags, he gained NOTHING by his stupid bid, but he COULD HAVE lost something because of it.

BBO, please DISCARD these useless GIBBO pieces of junk, and replace them with DECENT robots that are not a festering sore on the face of bridge.

100 % for NS. another complete zero for EW, but that's not the reason I'm posting the hand. The reason is to show the world East's STUPID lead. Whether it turned out freat or horribly on the random layout of this random hand is irrelevant. What's rtelevant is that was STUPID to lead a SPADE...INTO a declarer who had OPENED ONE SPADE and then REBID TWO SPADES!

East stumbled into what happens to be the best lead on this hand, the club ace...AND his partner West actually signaled (!!!) honestly (!!!) with the club nine! Alert the press three times!

But then...at trick two...East proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is indeed a cursed GIBBO robot, meaning that he is a total, absolute M.O.R.O.N. and one of the worst "bridge players" in the history of the universe, because the I.D.I.O.T. shifted!

Trick four: East wins his ACE (!!!!!!) of hearts. I guess winning his QUEEN was MUCH too difficult a play for him to find.

Seriously, what PLANET are these GIBBO pieces of GARBAGE from?

And, as usual, the GIB definitions are disgusting. The first three words for 1H are "Major-suit opening". The first three for 2S are "Jump new suit". Who actually thought that these useless, unnecessary, annoying, insulting words were a good way to begin a definition? And why has no one ever bothered to remove them?

On a typically IMBECILIC GIBBO auction, Johnny Halfwit and Donald J. Dumbo barrel into a terrible game. On a club lead, it is guaranteed to go down at LEAST one, via two club losers and two red aces, and even after that there could be a spade loser.

Let's look at some of their STUPID bids...AND some typically PATHETIC GIB definitions.

2D: First, why the HELL is West bidding 2D on his doubleton? He should either double (if it's appropriate in the unworkable, antiquated JOKE that passes for the GIBBO system) or bid two of a major (with the choice of which major being contingent on GIBBO style and philosophy). To FURTHER highlight the paramount lunacy of his call, EVEN his own GIB definition says that 2D shows "3-4 diamonds". The PATHETIC definition, however, does NOT answer the CRUCIAL question of whether 2D is forcing. Typically, while these piece of trash definitions gratuitously provide useless, insulting garbage like the examples quoted in post # 2059 immediately above, they FAIL to provide IMPORTANT, relevant information. Just as GIBBO robots are the WORST "bridge players" I have ever seen, the GIB definitions are the worst I have ever seen...in ANY milieu, not just bridge.

3H: Why the HELL is West bidding 3H here? His "partner" has just SHOWN that he has four SPADES, and West himself ALSO has four spades. If he's GOING to bid over East's 2S (which was ALSO - VERY negligently - not explained as being forcing or not forcing!), surely it should be SPADES, not hearts! Once again, BTW, he ignores his own GIB definition, which states that his 3H call shows "4 diamonds" (while he has only TWO!) and "3- spades" (while he actually has FOUR!). Furthermore, why does GIB now say that he has four diamonds when his previous call (his ridiculous 2D) stated that he could have as FEW as three? What happened? Why did his defined diamond length MAGICALLY increase for absolutely NO reason? Did ANYONE ever verify or cross-reference these ALWAYS abysmal GIB definitions?

4S: This perpetuates the LIE that he has "four diamonds" and now says (incorrectly, of COURSE) that he has (only) "three spades". It also falsely claims that he has "12-15 total points". Nothing but garbage from beginning to end...with the auction and definitions. Why am I NOT surprised?
