Thoughts? I think 4S is ridiculous especially when a 3S is available. What exactly could the GIBug be?

Also, have you noticed GIBBO generally has length in one/both of opps' suits when makes fit-showing jumps i.e. 3C here.

This is not a fit-showing jump (that would be something like (1D)-1S-(p)-3H). It's a jump cue, or a mixed raise.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Of course 4S is ridiculous though, sorry for not mentioning that in the first post. :) Looking forward to your next portmanteaus, keep up the good work!

4 is hideous. The only reason Gib can count 12 points is counting singleton. You need a fit to count a singleton. The only known fit is clubs and might even be 4-3. Do you really want to be in 4 when partner opened 1 and then went quiet?

Gib counts shortness when it shouldn't.
Counts in NT.
Counts when shortness is in partner's suit.
Probably others.
Don't think is a bug is a design feature lol.

I think the GIBug might be:
Until explicit fit is found DO NOT assume implicit fit and count "points" for singletons or doubletons. If assume implicit fit MUST HAVE 6+ cards in suit.

That should cover it. I have asked the question several times. "points" I read on BBO website 10 years ago are applicable when fit is found. BBO since then, at some point, removed the fit and points statement.
