Basic robots. Human South.



This is not a trapping situation with the North hand so GIB shouldn't leave it to South to reopen here. KQx should be good enough club support for a cue bid.

I disagree. It is a crater not a hole in the database. Low level auction so pass is inexcusable. GUBBO is brilliant in card play and defense. In bidding, mostly competitive, it is a BIG ZERO.

North needs at least one more club to cuebid, possibly 2. KQx not nearly good enough.

Funnily enough when GUBBO does strange things there is a silver lining. Opps are 1 trick short of 4H LOL

A cue bid is the smallest lie, with pass being at the top of the list of worst lies.
