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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

[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?

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.
