bridgbum Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 In direct seat, robot made a takeout double of a 1c opening bid. Next player passed. I had 4-4 majors and an opening hand so I cue bid. Standard methods following a cue bid by advancer of a takeout double are to bid 4+ card suits up the line until a suit is bid and supported. Robot bid 2d. I bid 2h. Robot jumped to a heart game with 3-card support. I then checked the interpretation of my 2h bid and it said it shows a 5-card heart suit. So the robot is not using standard methods for this auction, in which advancer of a takeout double makes a cue bid. In fact, I've never seen anywhere where advancer's cue bid, followed by a new suit by advancer, shows a 5-card suit. I play lots of acbl robot games and really like them. Just making a friendly suggestion for improvement...thanks for the good work you do on the robot software! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
