Hi

I have faced this issue so many times and often been shouted down
Distrbutional suit hands. 19 HCPs and it will often add an ace and jump to unmakeable slams later in the auction
This time was sad. Down an Ace and King in same suit jumped to NT. Very sad. Not even my suit
I ca't be bothered to post the hand
People will just say, but you only have 19 points and 8.5 tricks
GiB assumes you have 23
It is so sad
I feel it will not happen again but sometimes it does
And I will take the fall for jumping to an umakeable slam in my suit but not NT adding points for distribution lol
Even correcting to 7M would have been 2 down

Is logic a human construct?
"And no matter what methods you play, it is essential, for anyone aspiring to learn to be a good player, to learn the importance of bidding shape properly."My natural inclination is to pass, but I’m a certified chicken." MikeH
"100% certain that many excellent players would disagree. This is far more about style/judgment than right vs. wrong." Fred

People have spent years using logic in computer systems

Gib seems to have some problems

I know for much of its so called decision making it uses sims but it has core bidding rules

But somewhere and repeatedly it makes the error of adding aces and ignoring controls

And as I say repeatedly 2 clubs is game force not slam force
