I could (almost) understand an invite rather than game, but Pass?

For a Walrus like Gib, pass is unbelievable.

While seems weird action by GIBBO, do note 4S is a tough make some method to GIBBO's madness.

Doesn't matter if it makes or not you want to be there. There is a 4-1 trump break. how is it on a 3-2?
My partner last night passed a forcing bid as he didn't like his hand.
He had ATxx Tx Jx AKxxx.. Not a maximum Precision 2♣ but i like it better than a lot of maximums when I force in hearts.
I made 4H luckily but field went down in 4H. It takes good defense to beat. 10 minutes later i figured out how to make 4 after any lead but spades.
But partner thought I was crazy complaining about passing a forcing bid as 3♥ even without the overtrick is a top.

Well sorry I want Gib to bid game on this hand or at least invite.

As you say.
And FWIW it made, though I played it distractedly and I imagine that better opponents could have thwarted me.

My real world partners get to do that exactly once

Not recommending or defending GIBBO's choice. My guess is it simulated and picked up a corner case because it was "tired". Picks up corner cases often.

GIB has more corners than a megagon.

This never happens. It was the fluke of all time. Basic bot?

It certainly happened.
I imagine it was a basic bot (for some reason they don't tell).
Probably a TCR90 tournament, if you like I can check (should be easy to trace, I posted it very soon after).

[jdonn]

I'm not saying you made it up, just saying I have seen thousands of transfer auctions from GIB and never seen anything like this happen until now. If it repeats it will be a problem that needs to be fixed. For now I can't imagine why it happened but think it is some kind of fluke.

GIB also forces to game on a 12-14 NT with 9 HCP. There is no method in its madness.
