This started to happen to me a lot lately in GIB duplicate events.

Here is the last one

KJ8754

23

You can afford to lose 2 tricks in this suit. It is either trumps or your main suit in NT. I played low towards dummy and GIB plays 9, I play J and lose to Q. And then later i play low to K8754 now GIB plays low. I thought GIB would play small from T9x previous round so now it is trying to create a losing option for me by playing 9 (or T) from ATx A9x and i play K of course losing to AQ doubleton for going down.Posted Image

This happened like at least 3-4 times to me recently. Beware of this type of positions against GIB. It does not create a losing option. It just messes with your nerves.Posted ImagePosted Image

GIB has no nerves hehe, it does often like to play the highest card it can afford instantly when discarding and you can't glean any information from it.
