At least GIB is consistent about not doubling a grand when holding the trump ace.

Grand in hearts?

Ruined my $1 55% tourney to boot. :(

But wish I knew, why GIB thought a grand in hearts here would lead to higher MP score than 6NT. I guess some genius will soon explain that a simulation showed that hearts play one trick better. There are times when GIB should not be allowed to do simulations. When you have given a complete and accurate description of your hand, and your partner then places the contract, you are not entitled to an opinion.

This is a recurring theme in the GIB forum.

Except when you have bid 5NT, then you would really really like GIB to do a simulation and bid 7 if he thinks it is making, rather than woodenly replying with his number of kings.

Of course B-)

I do realize how difficult it is to code "captaincy".

Passing 6H would have been 90%+ ;)

Another one where East can't find a double:

and, +700 was not already worth all the matchpoints for EW, because:

As East, I would have bid at my first opportunity, but in another thread it's become clear that I am a serial overbidder...
