VegasVern Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Played in a robot tournament today (.25 cent) I opened 1NT, I (no interference) bot said 2C (Stayman) I said 2D, bot bids 3H...what does the bot have? 7 points, 3 spades and the stiff QH!!! (Yes, we ended up in 6 or 7 clubs!) Somebody gotta splain that one to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Sounds like Invitational Reverse Minor Suit Smolen :blink: (Edit: This was probably intended as some sort of splinter...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bb79 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Check out the gib's convention card: http://online.bridgebase.com/doc/gib_system_notes.php Then click followups for 1ntit is supposed to be "Smolen (forcing to game with 4 of the suit bid and 5 of the other major) " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasVern Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Check out the gib's convention card: http://online.bridgebase.com/doc/gib_system_notes.php Then click followups for 1ntit is supposed to be "Smolen (forcing to game with 4 of the suit bid and 5 of the other major) " So you're saying the bot had at least 4 clubs and five spades? The bot had 3 spades, 4 clubs and 1 heart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I can't recall the bots ever psyching Smolen like this. Are you sure it didn't bit 3♥ immediately? The bots use 1NT-3♦/♥/♠ as a splinter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
