Has Ax of hearts at trick 12 and leads small heart losing to my singleton King
Gib should have a complete count on the hand
so can someone explain?

Low heart avoided the endplay in hearts at trick 13. Sure, it cost a trick but avoided the endplay.

No, it doesn't. You could have the last spade, and East the heart king, in which case a low heart results in -2 rather than -1.

GIB cannot comprehend you bidding 3♣ with 22 HCP when it promises at most 18. (Sure, the other option has 19, but that's considerably more likely. And even if it considers both options, low is better at IMPs as long as it's 5:3 you have the more likely hand).

That makes its play make even more sense, given now we're talking about MPs and while GIB may make the same bid with both, the other hand is at least as likely.
