3NT hand from a challenge std robots
partner doubled for a club lead
but you dont need club stoppers to bid 3NT
a club lead puts 3N -2
If Gib's diamond suit was better than partners perhaps Gib should have bid ♦ ?! <sarcasm>

While I wouldn't play again with a human partner who didn't lead a club (maybe a little harsh?), compliments to GIB for at least leading a diamond instead of a heart or spade. Baby steps

But Gib has lots of opportunities and almost never leads your suit like there is a bug preventing it.
I suppose I should be somewhat thankful. Once Gib led my suit I almost had a heart-attack!

I would give a human partner some leeway. It's not like a non-club lead on some other hand might be the only was to beat 3N. It happens.
If partner had ♦QJ109xx and 2 likely outside entries, then a diamond lead would have real merit. Without a 4th round diamond spot and no likely entry except in clubs, I think a diamond lead is GIB awful (even if you can construct a hand where a diamond lead is necessary)

agreed like I said on some other hand lol
not leading club on this and other similar hands makes me think it's a bug or at least is not considering bidding by partner

Sometimes (usually) I wonder if the GIB simulations take into account suit quality. Leading from Qx opposite a random 5+ card suit isn't nearly as good compared to partner having a very good suit which the double of 2♣ suggests.

Yeah, this is awful. I mean, RHO is doubling 2C almost entirely for a club lead! And then you march right into 3NT... and live to tell your story, making 5 for a top, I'd hope!
