Which is worse; the original pass or the final pass?

Get the ID of that BBO bot and remember to never double it. It's got the goods when it bids. B-)

As I've noted before, 9 card suits are meant to defend or be dummy. You're taking big risks in bidding past 2♠.

The East bot is genius, it beat par on the hand which is -200 E/W.

The 2♠ bid is equally as bad as both passes. My microwave could play better bridge :)

as would my refrigerator :) though the bad weak 2D took away a lot of GIBBO's options.

True. East only has a guaranteed 8 tricks in spades as trumps.
