Daylong IMPs tournament.

Gib really limited its hand with its 4♣ bid, showing a staggering 12-32 HCP.

(PS - in case anybody feels like posting hand diagrams showing what would happen if I bid something else, please do so in a new thread. Just concentrating on Gib here.)

This is a brilliant, transcendental bid by GIB. I don't think I would have thought of bidding 4♣ in a million years.

Also I like how your cuebid showed exactly 15 HCP. I think your hand is worth the upgrade, but obviously if you'd had 16 you'd have to bid something else. :ph34r:

I like the "12-32 HCP" part of the description.

Actually you wouldn't better like the "12-32 HCP" part of the description.Posted Image
If really holds 32hcp, it will exactly show South opener is a psyche opening.Posted Image
