GIB often jump raises in defensive auctions for no good reason. For example https://tinyurl.com/2qxzw4y5

Reverse the vulnerability and it might have a good reason, even discounting the K.
But here it was just lucky that opps could not find double.

Gib is looking for game, this has nothing to do with the vulnerability
showing 18+ points
Gib just doesn't have the values for a game try

More generally (maybe this hand is not the best example) it doesn't have the distribution for that kind of game try. Double or cue is often better.
