Advances by an UPH are... non-forcing? How exactly do you force here with a good suit?

This has bitten me numerous times...

on an auction like (1X)-1Y[GIB]-(p)-?? New suits by me are routinely passed by GIB. How exactly is one supposed to show 6+Z and 14 here?

Jump shifts are natural and forcing, but that doesn't solve every problem.

New suits NF after partner's overcall of a 1 level opening bid is still standard, although a large contingent plays them as forcing. As manu says, a jump advance in a new suit is natural and forcing, but isn't always ideal. This is a bigger concern in Robot tourneys on BBO than in real life, where you often may have a reason to bid with less overall strength than partner might hold. On BBO, you always have the best hand or at least equal HCP.

Does anyone know, does GIB play a new suit as forcing after partner's overcall of a weak 2 bid? This is the standard treatment but I don't recall it coming up in a robot tourney.

Now I have edited some styles of Gib hands and played these hands by my basic Gib to show your problem,generally speaking, the behavior of Gibs are better and reasonable.

Hand-1

Result : 5E-1

Hand-2

Result : 3ntE+2

Hand-3


Result : 1ntE=

Hand-4


Result : 2E=

Hand-5

Result : 2W=

Hand-6

Result : 4W=

Hand-7

Result : 4W=

Hand-8

Result : 4W-2

I hope everyone go on discussing.

Most bidding problems are a lot easier when you have a suit that plays for one loser opposite a void. Most of the time you don't have that luxury.
