reminder GUB = Ginsbergs Untelligent Bridgeplayer

I balanced 'cos I have 10 hcp. GUBBO may have a decent hand and had to pass since no good bid available over 1S...... and I have 2 Aces

Got punished with a bizarre 4H. Add insult to injury the other GUBBO had 5H to the KT.

In defense of GIB, if GIB doesn't bid 4♥ how are you getting to game? And 4♥ is not bizarre since GIB makes bids like that all the time so it's really a common bid. I've seen a couple of hands where the cards are sitting just right and game actually makes. B-)

In this case Johnu's sarcasm is warranted. Everyone knows Gib treats balancing as strong.
Feel lucky you weren't put in slam <sarcasm>
