I got a shared top on this board for going down "only" one in 4S.

I lost NO diamond tricks (!) with a stiff 2 in my hand and QJ10874 in dummy North. How did that happen?

The GIBBO robot in the West thought, at trick four, and LOOKING at dummy's six diamonds to the QJ10, that it would be an EXCELLENT idea to...UNDERLEAD (!) his A96 of diamonds! So, this clueless dweeb tabled his diamond 6. I called for dummy's 10, and East followed with his 3 from K53.

Presto: One diamond winner, no diamond losers for NS.

But please tell me AGAIN, o ye defenders of and apologists for GIBBO, about how the GIBBO robots are "better than most human players". PLEASE remind me of that "fact", because for some reason I keep FORGETTING it!

At trick five, the M.O.R.O.N. in the North pops his club ace.

Not only does West make a silly double of 4H, but he then leads and "defends" so ineptly that he allows an overtrick.

Yes, now that you mention it, he is a GIBBO robot. How did you guess?

[benellis58]

I purposely underbid with 2S because I KNOW from long and often bitter experience that although the disgusting GIBBO robots are lousy bidders in just about ALL situations, they tend to be OVERbidders rather than UNDERbidders. Sure enough, North made a ridiculous overbid with his stupid LEAP to FOUR spades on his mere TEN-count and his flat 5-3-2-3 shape.

His ridiculous overbid HAPPENED to work out well, as I made 10 tricks for a top shared with only three other humans. 37 other humans, however, took only NINE (or fewer) tricks in spades, so North's "heroic" (ha, ha) 4S overbid got us to a tenuous contract that, although successful, depended on a winning guess in trumps.

[benellis58]

South's 3S bid is not a game try. It's merely competitive. So why does North raise to 4S for NO reason? Answer: Because it's what the execrable GIBBO robots do. Sometimes (like here) it works out, sometimes it doesn't. It's often purely random, just like the hopeless GIBBO bidding itself.

Here, I happened to make 11 tricks in spades, as did seven other humans. Ten humans made "only" ten tricks. Eighteen humans made only nine tricks. Two humans made only eight tricks.

4S is not a terrible contract, but neither is it a great one. On a NORMAL diamond lead, the contract has three SURE losers: two diamonds and a club. That BOOKS the contract...and declarer STILL has to find the heart queen AND guess how to play spades (trump) for no losers.

In addition to North's undisciplined 4S call, two other GIBBO robots put their (chuckle!) "talents" on full display, with an eye-opening demonstration of how world-class WRETCHED their "defence" is. Please read what follows, and enjoy your laughter at the robots' expense:

I win West's queen of diamonds lead in my hand with the ace, and I lead my stiff jack of clubs. West wins his queen and at trick three plays the jack of diamonds. Fine...EXCEPT that East needlessly and STUPIDLY...OVERTAKES (!) West's jack with his king. He wins THAT trick, but he has turned my two NATURAL diamond losers into ONLY one, because I had been born with A109 tripleton. I drop my 10 under the M.O.R.O.N.'S king, but my remaining 9 (Curse of Scotland) is now the HIGH diamond remaining.

The clueless twit in the East now compounds his insane diamond play by shifting to a HEART! Bye, bye, heart guess, thanks to this bona fide I.D.I.O.T. solving that mystery for me! Later I pick up all of East's trumps (on the trademark BBO bad break, 4-0 this time) for eleven tricks.

Thank you for your valuable assistance, Mr. East, by which I of course mean "Thank you for being one of the MOST hopeless and clueless "defenders" the world of bridge has EVER seen, you useless ignoramus".

Why is West bidding 1H on his pancake flat 3-4-3-3 hand containing...ZERO (!) HCP? To the best of my knowledge, the robots do not play PPOR (penalty pass over redouble) so there is no NEED for the imbecile to bid. And why the Hell is East raising to 2H with his relative dogmeat (given that he has ALREADY doubled for takeout) opposite a partner who PASSED as dealer, and against two NS opponents who have BOTH shown values?

East leads a LOW heart on the fly, which does NOT work out well for him when he is squeezed and NS take all 13 tricks.

[benellis58]

The GIBBO piece of trash in the West is in a HUGE rush to (stupidly) pop his spade ace for absolutely NO reason at trick two...so that at trick three he can play...another spade! As the saying goes, "You CAN'T make this stuff up!" GIBBO robots are nothing but garbage.

https://www.bridgeba...CK%7Cpc%7CCA%7C

[benellis58]

Do the GIBBO robots not like the major suits? Notice that the imbecile in the East NEVER bids his six-card spade suit to the AK! Hopeless. Clueless. Pathetic. Ignorant. Indefensible.

Yet the same M.O.R.O.N. is positively THRILLED to make one of his typically STUPID high-level cuebids. The unfathomable jerk bids a nonsensical 3H over his "partner's" 3D bid.

https://www.bridgeba...D4%7Cmc%7C11%7C

[benellis58]

West makes the remarkably stupid lead of his stiff heart against 3NT. This type of I.D.I.O.C.Y. was one of the many absurd things that GIBBO's immediate predecessors, the hopelessly incompetent GIB robots, were relentlessly and justifiably ridiculed and reviled for. To a large extent, Lorserker's minor robot upgrade several months ago lessened the appearances of this particular brand of GIB/GIBBO stupidity, but as this hand shows, traces of this insane lead still resurface from time to time. Apparently you can lead a GIBBO horse to water but you can't make him any less STUPID.

[benellis58]

Typically stupid, dangerous, COSTLY lead by a typical piece of trash GIBBO robot. Unfortunately, on this hand, the GIBBO piece of trash happened to be my "partner".

https://www.bridgeba...H2%7Cpc%7CDK%7C

[benellis58]

After a diamond lead, EW can and should beat 4S one trick via diamond ace, then heart queen. Whatever North does from then on is irrelevant because EW are sure to get two hearts, the diamond ace, and a diamond ruff.

But because a loathsome GIBBO robot, a true humiliation to the world of bridge, was "defending" in the West seat, I made my game. The M.O.R.O.N. shifted at trick two...but to a club.

When these worthless jabronis stare into a mirror, are they aware that a complete I.D.I.O.T. is staring back at them?

https://www.bridgeba...HQ%7Cmc%7C10%7C

[benellis58]

The hated GIBBO robots, hopeless in all aspects of bridge, tend to be egregious overbidders. So what the HELL happened to North on THIS hand where - after his partner South made a takeout double of ID (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), he (North) bid a MERE...TWO (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) hearts?

Later he got...oh SO brave and competed WAY UP to...three hearts.

We have long known that these hopeless, disgusting GIBBO sickos are among the absolutely worst bridge players of all time, but is this particular GIBBO sicko in the North also challenging for the title of Biggest, Most Gutless WIMP in the History of the World?

Every day, every SINGLE day, these worthless GIBBO pieces of trash manage to find NEW and CREATIVE ways of showing what oblivious I.D.I.O.T.S. they are.

https://www.bridgeba...CC6%7Cmc%7C9%7C

[benellis58]

These hopeless GIBBO clowns are known for their silly love of leading worthless doubletons at trick one. Here's a hand that shows they have the same stupid affection for this during the hand.

West wins the spade lead with his king. At trick two, rather than switching to an obvious club and establishing a club winner for his side, the C.R.E.T.I.N.O.U.S. buffoon plays a truly ridiculous Curse of Scotland from his 97 doubleton of diamonds, while staring at the KQ84 in dummy.

Now, to be fair, if his "partner" East had even a lick of sense, this wouldn't have been so bad, because East could have ducked that first diamond. Then when West later won his heart king, he could have fired back his remaining diamond 7, which East could THEN win with his carefully preserved ace and give West a third-round diamond ruff. THAT defence would give EW five defensive tricks, matching what a trick two club shift would have provided. But of COURSE East was too wholeheartedly stupid to even THINK of ducking the diamond. The GIBBO M.O.R.O.N. (sorry for the redundancy, because of course ALL GIBBO robots have that SAME complete lack of intelligence) won the diamond ace and then...played a second spade! That is not only stupid (which would, to be fair, be what we would expect from one of these useless GIBBO pieces of trash) but also disrespectful to his "partner" West, because IF West had wanted to cash his spade ace, he obviously could have done it HIMSELF at trick two!

I wonder if these GIBBO simpletons at least have the wit to feel contempt for each other, as they should?

https://www.bridgeba...CC6%7Cmc%7C9%7C

[benellis58]

Look at North's M.O.R.O.N.I.C. 3D response to South's reopening double. Any bridge player would bid 2S, not the ludicrous 3D. But North was not a REAL bridge player: He was that insidious form of pond scum known as a GIBBO robot, a world-class fool who masquerades as a "bridge player". This undisputed jerk felt that it was better to bid a low-scoring minor at the three level than a high-scoring major at the two level. GIBBO is garbage, nothing but garbage.

https://www.bridgeba...C8%7Cpc%7CHJ%7C

[benellis58]

Superjerk in the East wins his club king at trick two. Sure enough, like clockwork, at trick three, he returns a...CLUB, because (broken record time!) these GIBBO jackasses LOVE to return the suit DECLARER plays.

Which area of Bizarro World WERE these absurd monstrosities created in? Asking for a friend.

https://www.bridgeba...D6%7Cpc%7CC6%7C

[benellis58]

Why is the M.O.R.O.N. in the West stupidly leading his doubleton 10 of hearts rather than a spade? Answer: Precisely because he is a M.O.R.O.N., and the WORST type: a GIBBO one, the lowest of the low, the worst of the worst.

The twit gets a second chance when he wins his diamond ace. He plays...his remaining heart.

If you could bottle GIBBO stupidity, you'd have a large enough supply of "stupid juice" to turn everyone in the world into a raving lunatic.

https://www.bridgeba...H3%7Cmc%7C12%7C

[benellis58]

We scored 65 % for going down "only" THREE (!) on this typical BBO deathtrap of a hand. But that's not the story.

The story is that this hand shows for the Nth time that GIBBO has no idea how to bid two-suiters and no idea how to make "prepared" bids, but has a stupid and abiding LOVE for reversing at high levels without sufficient values.

If the piece of trash wants to show both his majors, he should begin with 1S, not 1H. (Yeah, yeah, I know he has longer hearts. So what?). On the other hand, if he fervently feels that it's more important to bid "honestly", since his hearts ARE both longer and stronger than his spades, then fine...but then bid two hearts over two diamonds, NOT two spades!

https://www.bridgeba...HK%7Cpc%7CC5%7C

[benellis58]

This worked out okay, as we scored 77.8 % on the board, with only one NS pair beating us, even though we might have defended better. But I'm posting the hand because of North's "penalty" double of 1S. Why the HELL is HE making a PENALTY double of it...in DIRECT (NOT passout) position, AFTER he has ALREADY previously redoubled West's takeout double, holding a MISERABLE 1074 of spades, AND in an auction where by definition the EW "opponents cannot play undoubled below 2NT"? This is a TYPICALLY unilateral, disrespectful, AND downright stupid move by the always hated GIBBO robots. AND...as USUAL, the robot's boneheaded move COULD have COST, but did NOT gain, because had he passed, SOUTH, the player who actually HAD spades, would have doubled anyway...but if South had NOT had those spades, North's STUPID, UNILATERAL double would have been a disaster.

Why does this GIBBO trash continue to pollute BBO? It should long ago have been replaced by competent robots.

https://www.bridgeba...CJ%7Cpc%7CDK%7C

[benellis58]

North proves that he is a GIBBO robot: Against West's 1NT, he makes their beloved, STUPID lead of the heart 7 from his worthless 72 doubleton. There are two unbid suits, clubs and hearts, and this unrepentant piece of GIBBO dirt leads his doubleton instead of his four-bagger. These GIBBO robots are a JOKE that has become more sad than funny...although, to be fair, they ARE a worldwide laughingstock.
