Captions were all messed up too. I am sure my response showed two keys and Queen in diamonds
And thinking we had all keys was happy to risk pushing for Grand
And I think I could have played it better and scored another trick DD
I apppreciate we were each stretchingm our shape a bit but with the Ace of hearts it would have been easier
And after all these years I should have known the West bot preempts very soundly

EDIT is is just me or has the whole history of GiB bidding been deleted recently. Just looks a bit weird. As if only a few of us have posted over the last month. And the rest of history erased. And even weirder one of the threads is a zombie thread from many years ago talking about "new bot changes". Feels a bit weird. Hope I am not alone feeling that way. Not sure why it is up to me to tell the world about the true history of BBO and GiB. Feeling abit stuck out on a limb.Would delete this if I could. Makes me feel weird and unfairly exposed to the world

Yes, GIB's bidding is just plain broken here.

Forums default to only showing you posts from the last 30 days. There's a button at the bottom to 'Click here to show filter options' where you can change the time frame to showing all posts.

But it seems everyone has given up on GIB now.

Thanks for reassuring me over the RKCB sequence
I have still not found how to access the many years of earlier posts
I have almost given up too
I had one recennt Zenith with at lleast 3/16 hands down to ridiculous bidding - I may start a thread - but they often incorporate cue bids pushing auctions at least one bid too high or unneccessarily competitive and being doubled and stuff like that

My rule about cuebids with GiB is similar to my rule about interfering over NT with GiB: don't do it, and if GiB does then calm it down with a safe sequence to game/slam. It will almost always let you sign off in a small slam after RKCB (so long as it knows the right trumps in the first place).
