MsPetey Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Love BOT tourney's but NEVER when BOTs give odd-ball bids; Ever heard of KISS method. I had 17 pt 1N opener; it went 1N (X) Re-X (p)2H* (p) 2S** (p)3H (p) 4C*** (p)4S***** !@$#@$@#$*!@#$ 1. Thought all re-doubles meant limit raise or equivalent 10 pts*.2. I had 5 hearts** 3. bot only had 3 small spades NO HONOR what was this bid PLEASE4. rebid Hearts; I had only 3Spades w/ AJx if pard only had 4 spades ! ! Q#!#%$5. 4 Clubs ? ? ?? don't know if "pix" bid & bot is 5/5 don't know if it's version of NMF saying pard I have 5 spades.6. I bid 4 Spades Down 4. I can appreciate the "salesmanship" of 'getting money" from us on hoax of reward; but at least give us honest bidding AND HONEST EXPLANATIONS of bids made. Really Pissed ! ! ! 1st few days, Robot Rebate was giving honest hands, honest bids. Also "LOVE" as in hate; when in other BOT tourneys - bot makes forcing bids to get you to game level AND opp's take 1st 5 tricks before you can even get in. ANOTHER "LOVE as in HATE, BOT will only have 4-6 points and bid you to 5.6 & 7 level. Have them read Audrey Grants Bridge BASICS or Basic MATH - can't bid at 2, 3 or 4 level w/out x amount of points. :P :angry: :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb79 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 robot's redouble is not 10+ hcp , it shows a long minor, usually weak hand. You can see the meaning of the bid by clicking the bid in the bidding diagram.You need to bid 2♣ then robot will pass or correct to 2♦. robot doesnt play kiss method.robot assumes that you know what it plays.it never opens 1nt with 5 hearts so it doesn't think that you have 5 hearts.
