I have been using GIB on BBO as a practice tool - I play one hand and let GIB play the other three hands. What I would like to know are the best settings for 'Play Speed' and 'Advice Speed'. When both are set on max slow, it, presumably, plays better, but sometimes it takes over a minute to play a single card. Set on max fast, its play and bidding become erratic. Any thoughts about the proper setting?

By the way, what do each of those settings control?

The slower the speed for thinking and play, the stronger the GIB play. I like to set it fast because I have a short attention span

Basically the settings determine how much time GIB can spend on every move it makes. This has an impact on both performance and speed. The more time it gets, the better it will play. Best is to find some kind of tradeoff, where it plays more than ok and it's still pretty fast most of the time.

I set it to fastest speed but it plays really bad, then.

Hi,

because I play against the GIBs for training purposes,
the answer is slow play speed, I never used the advice
functionality, maybe I should set it to fast.

What is best? First answer yourself the question, what
do you want to achieve playing against the GIBs?
Traning or Killing some time.

With kind regards
Marlowe
