10+ isn't GF so might have to stop short of game. 10+ is unlimited so must be forcing. So some of your possible contracts are 3M, 3N and 4M. So, you have used up all out of space and no closer to knowing what the final contract is. Worse the right contract could be 3S, so might only have one more bid. A jump to be useful needs at least to be GF or limited.

The green card is highly under-rated. :huh:

Just open 7♥ next time. I cant believe 7 is even a consideration.

Noble sentiment, in theory I agree. It's not a couple of points, you could need 95% to win now.

Sounds like a lot of work that wont make much difference. Most of the time. And who is going to audit the boostrap calculations

Why rush out to show a 4-card suit with max 15 hcp? Some hands with 4♦ double will be better. Partner has another chance to bid. I cant think of many hands where I would want bid rather than pass and wait.

Trick 8 MP challenge normal bot Look at duck on trick 8

slam was in free imp daylong5C cue bid says denies AD. Is this a bug? Gib has AD and KD Why go up to 5C if missing diamond control?

If your bids have different meanings depending on meaning of opps bid I think you should ask to make sure. I was playing bridge for over thirty years never encountered a 4♥ 5 minor, Then I played on BBO and did including local people and then Gib joined them. Seems a bad idea, play DONT if you gonna, but 2♥ 45 means you play 1 level higher sometimes for no reason.

I like the 7-20 range for East 3D bid! That's what I call Precision bidding!

Yes tyler is correct length of responder matters. The simulation example assumed responder had 5. Which is what fast lane was looking for, I think.

cant see whole auction sometimes this may matter

"West can't double with a void" That's a new one! Check bidding textbooks you will find plenty of doubles with a void,

The law pretty much says dummy can object. It can't be much clearer.

Actually it should be the person not accepting the claim that should be considered on the clock that should be booted. But at least the person making the claim shouldn't for sure.

4♠ has no play. requires K♦ lead which is possible. I think on that lead needs nothing else. I previously thought need to guess club

Hardly cold except on K♦ lead. Even then still have to guess clubs which you got wrong

Are you saying he never showed his hand when claiming? Very bad if so.

today I subbed in found partner was someone who I have blocked I thought this not possible. Anyways it shows not enough information given to possible sub. as I said in earlier post If profile was shown they would have been black and I know not to accept

Its all the damn 8's and 9s Gib has that makes 3N decent. That the layout has no real play clouded my view that if cards for opps switched a but there is a chance. But as afar as I know Gib doesn't consider 8/9's signifcantly unless making a simulation. This was advanced bots so possible. But I doubt it. I suspect Gib counted the singleton which gives it enough for a GF.

Smolen hand MP challenge match, advanced botsOk Smolen is a good convention but you are forced to game. Here you have 8 hcp and a singleton. If you have a fit you have enough for game. If you have no fit you don't enough for game. So there is no fit, but must bid game so in 23 hcp 3N with no good source of tricks. Really no chance to make without a favourable lead. Moral don't count shortness unless you have a fit. Gib willingly counts shortness when in NT or when shortness is in partner's suit. Here bidding should go 1N-2C-2D-2H all pass I think.

Everyone could have 4 spades.You partner can certainly have 4 spades Doubler can have spades and hearts support There is no reason to assume partner has 5 spades.

3rd best lead standard for all little old ladies lol

I dont see how a trump can be help you are never stopping them ruffing and will cost if partner has Q. KD may be right but opps will lead I see no rush Club or Spade could be right. Partner cant have much so either could cost or be important to lead now,
