Oh yes I have seen this one before
I honestly cannot understand how Gib treats major suits and suit preferences.
What perverse logic passes that heart bid?
Who or what programs these things, the overall 2/1 bidding of robots is, to say the least, shocking.
Its impossible to bid with a partner that cannot be trusted.
I maintain, you have 3 opponents, the humans sitting in your seat, E/W and your partner.
Well how do you beat your partner?
2 options really, go to game or bid 4NT yourself........that way you retain control of the bidding and play your human opponents as well as you can.
With these 18 and a 9 card fit......4NT and decide for yourself. My point is to avoid giving Gib any control at all.
At least if Gib passes your 4NT you will make your contract.
