Yes , i am getting rivered almost all GIB duplicate tourneys and on the last (12th) board i am getting a very bad score. Mostly not my fault except this one. I have to admit i made a huge strategical mistake. I was 1st with %72 game entering to last board and this deal came up.



I recieved ♣2 lead. Knowing the GIB and for keeping WEST off the lead purposes i did not play Q, took the lead in hand. Played ♠K, East took and cashed ♣ K, and continued with ♦ Q , which i won in dummy and played a small ♥ to my J, East dropping 9 and west 2. I cashed ♠ Q and LHO discarded a ♣, and i go to dummy's J clearing last trump.

Now how to play the ♥ suit ? Anyone who knows GIB, West can easily have 4♥, they dont use neg DBL under certain hcp, especially when they have fit to minor.

Of course as the "GENIUS" player, i played EAST for K9 doubleton ♥, as if it was not my dumbself who was going first with % 72 score and needed a big board ! To score +170 instead of +140. Of course i got my "VERY WELL DESERVED" -100 instead, which reminded me of my famous quote in my card at BBO " Genius has its own limitations, however stupidity is boundless" :angry:
"Genius has its own limitations, however stupidity has no such boundaries!"

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
