Should I bid 2H instead of x? GIBBO may have tons of d so I can't
Should GIBBO bid 2H? if i bid 3H over 2H then GIBBO can bid 3NT to show same hand.

I say this is GIBug-ish.

Definitely Gib lunacy.

Should always be straining to double on this sequence.
The most likely good hand partner has ♦ and doubling is only way to collect a penalty.

Gib not showing 5♥ simply means another flaw in programming.

Yes, but this is GIB. GIB never passes even with 7♦.

Playing with GIB 2♥ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> X

This may be true playing with an actual bridge player. It's not clear playing with GIB because there is a long history of major disasters when doubling (any type of double) with GIB as partner.

This is false. If anything GIB passes too often in this type of sequence. But when holding a trump stack it will do the right thing. Double was clear cut.

look at the gib definition of X 11-21 hcp and distribution when viewed from that prism 2n is not as out of bounds as it seems asking opener to bid 3n if near max. Having said that it is decidedly not BRIDGE since the overwhelming majority of hands opener will be closer to 11 than 21 AND if opener is that close to 21 they will raise a 2h bid to 3h. The fault lies with basic programming defects that i have given up trying to address. GIB is a tool to help pass the time but forget about trying to
do anything serious with it (imho). With gib i would bid 2h with a human x its that simple.
