GIB can take a long time to play an obvious card, sometimes even a singleton. Whats up?

0

What GIB finds obvious and what you find obvious are very different, for much the same reasons as discussed in the previous item. So GIB may spend some time deciding whether to follow with a 3 or a 5 after you lead the 7 and dummy plays the ace. GIB also does not play a card until it understands what’s happened before. If you play the heart 7, for example, GIB won’t play until it thinks it understands why you played it. A lot of times, the heart 7 is a pretty obvious play for you, and GIB will respond quickly. But in situations where the heart 7 is a surprise, GIB will spend some time thinking about it before playing — even if GIB has a singleton.
