This might not be a GIB question, it might just be a bridge logic question...


I super-accepted, showing club shortness; HumanSouth super-accepted incorrectly showing heart shortness. Why does NorthGIB proceed past 3♠ at my table but not at the other table? I would think that South showing heart shortness would be more encouraging than club shortness.

This part is a GIB question: If you're going to proceed past 3♠, what in the world is 3N? It seems to me that it should be an offer of a place to play, showing a concentration of values in clubs.

From a bridge logic standpoint, this is backwards. North is much happier hearing about heart shortness than club shortness.

I suppose the discrepancy is just because the random seeds were different because of the different bids by South and not enough DD samples are used.
