reply to all: I definitely have no agreement on this bidding since my partner is ROBOT. the bidding was judged illegal by the director of an online bridge game site which has its own 'bridge rules'.

good or bad of the bidding is not my concern. just want to know if it is allowed in bridge rule.[hv=pc=n&s=s984hakj9dt9874cq&d=s&v=e&b=3&a=1h]133|200[/hv]

hi gszes, thank you for the commendation. I agree with you. I have missed the right play, that is why I wrote this post. besides the distribution you have said, there are other clues lead us to the right direction, since there is only one truth. As west didn't start open lead with hearts, surely he did not have all three heart honors, so it almost double dummy, the best line is to setup a hear trick. in the actual line of play, when east continue spade with Queen, I should have ducked again, it is quite possible robot can't find the heart switch. As gszes have mentioned, 33 spades split is impossible.

the whole deal is: [hv=sn=c2&s=SAK732HJ76DK8CKQ9&wn=机器人&w=SJ654HAK943D7CJ73&nn=机器人&n=S98HT852DA2CA8652&en=机器人&e=SQTHQDQJT96543CT4&d=w&v=n&b=12&a=PP4D4NPPP&p=D7DAD6D8S8STS2S6SQSKS5S9SAS4H2DQS3SJH5DJHKH8HQH6HAHTDTH7C7C2CTCQ&c=9]399|300[/hv]

the robot on the east continued with queen of spade (he/she must have thought for a while here :rolleyes: ), I try to figure out the distribution of spades, I know sometime robot will put up the honor in a doubleton, so maybe it's from QJ10 this time, and we will have an overtrick! the eager to get a top drive me to take the spade queen and catch another spade trick. alas, east discard a diamond, I have to concede another spade to west to setup a spade trick, now bad things happen, west just cash two hearts and leave me one down!

in pair match, there always some unique play or situation, here is one, it was played in a 55% robot rebate match, which is my favorite match style, recently. I have made 2 mistakes in this deal, however, its an educational deal, so I would like to share it with those guys who play 55% matches. it was the last one of 12 boards when this deal come, and my overall percent score for all of the previous boards is a little more than 50, by simple calculate, I must got 100 on this one to win the game(1.5 BB$). rho opened 4d, this is my hand [hv=pc=n&s=sak732hj76dk8ckq9&d=w&v=n&b=15&a=pp4d]133|200[/hv] try to got a top, the best chance is to play a different contract from others and try to score more pints. what will others do in this hand, obviously, x or 4s is common choices, so they are excluded from my plan. I bid 4nt and buy the contract. LHO lead the famous seven of diamond, and I can see the dummy's hand [hv=pc=n&n=s98ht852da2ca8652]133|100[/hv] aha, the adventure in bidding got a very well effect, it seems no other contracts is as well as 4nt, so we just try to make it. we have two diamonds two spades and very likely five clubs, where is the tenth trick coming from? after a little meditation, I decide to setup one more spade trick. win the open lead in dummy, I lead a spade, RHO play S10 and I ducked, it is often good practice to duck early, since opponents don't know much of what you are doing,

:lol: Yesterday, I happen to be a dummy when playing at my club, I closed my left eye and bent to LHO, there is no difficulty reading all his cards. ;)

I think the current schema is sound.
