Is there some kind of GIB game that does not allow you to post links? I'm sure that, at least sometimes, it would be helpful to see the actual hands.

Maybe GIB plays the inverted style and intended 2H as game forcing with in diamonds.

The description on the bid was 4+ clubs Invite or better 12- 10-12 total points or something like that.

Your last 100 hands played should be available to you under "Hands and results", and there is an "Export deal" button there.

Thanks

I was using the older version of the software and didn't think to look there.

The book bid is 3♣ but simulations told it to upgrade. Axxxx sitting over the Michaels bidder and Kxxx in partner's suit make this a pretty good hand.

A7xxx doesn't look that flash to me. Its not going to promote into real tricks very soon.

It's not tricks, since RHO has 5 of them, too. I think it's the positional value that causes it to upgrade: the A is sitting over the K. And partner is likely to be short, so a crossruff is a possibility.
