lydiab1 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I have been complaining for a long time of a glitch in the robot's slam bidding. For example, there were times when he jumped to slam in a 3-card suit that had never been mentioned. Today, with 6 points vs. my invitation to game, he asked for aces, two were missing and he bid the grand. There were similar occurrences many times. A friend of mine, who plays on BBO a lot, mostly in robot tourneys, has also experienced this problem many times. Whenever I mention anything about robots, everyone get very defensive. I want to stress that I am in total awe at the level of "knowledge" these robots have so I am mentioning bugs only to try to fix these. The particular issue I am reporting is quite annoying because being in a ridiculous slam is so costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manudude03 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hi, welcome to the forums. 7D On this hand, check the explanation for 4D. It includes 25+ total points. So when you replied 5H, it assumed you had all 5 key cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Bottom line: this should be considered another vote for "that 4♦ bid shouldn't require 25 points". There have been other similar comments, although I can't find them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 (1M) 3M(1m) p (1M) 3N Both technically show 25+ Points in theory I believe... There are plenty of other spots too. I suppose that'd be a cool treasure hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
