Sorry, it was a 1♠ opener. I did save the hand into a favorites folder, I'll try to figure out how to import it. What do you bid if you don't double with this hand? Also, my description of 3 hearts in this auction was 5+ hearts and nothing else. Does prime bbo and advanced robots have different descriptions? How do you get different descriptions than I get? here is a handviewer link; My link

East opened 1♦, I doubled, pass, partner bid 1nt showing 5-10 HCP and a stop in spades. I thought that I was too good for 2♥ so I jumped to 3♥ which went swish. When I looked to see what 3♥ meant it only says 5+ ♥, but surely it has to be forcing, doesn't it?

Sorry, I look for the right forum.

And if so, why bypass the ♣ suit? I know that if I had bid like East my partner would table a 6-5 in the round suits like I deserved.

That makes as little sense as the bots bidding.

All other bids were natural except for 4 diamonds which showed 4-5 clubs, 4 diamonds, 2 hearts, 2-3 spades. I corrected to 5 clubs and dummy tabled a 3-3-3-4 12 count. Why didn't the bot pass 3nt? Why didn't the bot support hearts when I showed 4-5 in the majors? Who writes these bid descriptions?

I nominate D'Orsi USA#1 (Zia, Meckstroth, Passell, Lair, Wold, Levine)

I see that I failed to say that the contract was 3nt. My post stands. If you lead the 10♠ that is proof of a wire.

You're on lead after partner has over called 1 ♦. If you lead the 10 of ♠ I'm gonna call you a liar. ♠ Q 10 8 5 4 ♥ 8 7 5 2 ♦ 10 ♣ J 10 4 Dummy hits with A J 7 opposite declarers 9 6 3. So this turns into a Mollo story where the Rueful Rabbit accidentally drops the 10 ♠ on the table when trying to dislodge the ♦ 10.

Found another bot secretly wired. Holding ♠xx, ♥xxxxxx, ♦xxx, ♣KJ, wired bot hears partner open 1♦ and opponents smooth into 4 ♠. J♣ opening lead finds declarer with Q1098 in dummy opposite Axx. Wired bot now gets to score his K♣ and get a ruff. In both instances the wired bot's partner opened 1♦, yet the bot found a double dummy killing lead. Victor Mollo would be happy. This truly is bridge in the menagerie.

Bot holds 3,2,9432,J1097653 I open 2♣ and rebid 2nt show 22-24 hcp. Off the major suit aces either 5 ♣ or 5 ♦ make. The bot bid 3nt, down 3.

Normally I'd have bid 3♣, but I've had poor results in the past with jump bids.

Why not 3nt by botner after the 3♥ probe? 3nt down 2 would certainly be the normal expert result with 8 top tricks and a protected Q-10-x in LHO openers suit. And if the botner wants to sign off after the 5♣ cue bid why not pass in the safety of a known 9+ club fit rather than correct to a known 4-3 heart fit?

Botner raised to 4♥ and I then discovered that I had promised a four card ♥ suit. Botner could have 5♥ but I retreated to the safety of 5♣ whereupon partner corrected to 5♥, clearly showing a strong 5+ heart suit. Imagine my surprise when botner tabled the 753 of ♥.
