Ever find yourself in a situation like the declarer here? Hand viewer No problem if you're playing in an express tournament. Just take 14 seconds per decision and bingo - guaranteed 50% when it times out. This is becoming more and more of a problem as people cotton on to it.

Hi Philip Sounds like we play at a similar level. I'm often on BBO although at the minute my kids keep me away from too many events. Generally prefer 2/1 but can play most systems. Tom

Having missed a chance for 4 down we were at least on course for 2 down...until the robot threw the j♣ at trick 7...why on earth would it do this? http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?sn=tompeer&s=SAK94HQ63DKJT72C4&wn=Robot&w=S762HA987DACKQ973&nn=Robot&n=ST5HKJ42DQ65CAJ62&en=Robot&e=SQJ83HT5D9843CT85&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=1D(Minor%20suit%20opening%20--%203+%20%21D%3B%2011-21%20HCP%3B)D(Takeout%20double%20--%203-5%20%21C%3B%202-%20%21D%3B%203-4%20%21H%3B%203-4%20%21S%3B%2012+%20total%20points)R(4-%20%21D%3B%2010+%20HCP%3B%20opponents%20cannot%20play%20undoubled%20below%202N)1S(Length%20--%204+%20%21S)D(Penalty%20--%203+%20%21D%3B%204+%20%21S%3B%2011-21%20HCP%3B%2012-2)PPP&p=C4CKCAC5STSQSKS6HQH7HKH5S5S3S9S2H6HAH2HTH9HJSJH3C8S4C3CJD2DAD5D3H8H4D4D7C9C6CTDTD8DJS7D6CQC2D9SADKC7DQS8

I X'd on the hand below - and GIB passed. Has anyone else noticed its propensity for passing in this sort of situation has changed recently? Around half the field did the same. http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?myhand=M-15889914-1352829241 Traveller

Playing in 4♠ - makes easily but GIB went 1 down at every table...except mine where it threw the winning j♠ and went two down. Was it something I did? How can I make it up to GIB :( http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?myhand=M-24540523-1338466081

I know GIB is sometimes reluctant to respond to 2nt but passing with 14 points and a 7 card suit is taking that to a new level. Might be some sort of bug here.... http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?myhand=M-10522460-1329131581 MOvie here
