Bidding Issues

[xeno123]

Couple of recent hands I played:

 

Supporting my second suit is not "Fourth Suit forcing" as the description claims:

On a more substantive note, why no support for my 2♠ overcall of a 2♥ pre-emptive opening when my bot partner has 4 spades and close to an opening hand in support of spades:

This was a replay of a Cavendish deal, and in the bot's position Zia as North bid 4♠ over a 3♦ intervention by West after the same two initial bids, while Bathurst in the same scenario chimed in with 4♦ (presumably constructive spade support) converted to 4♠ by South. I suppose one might argue that the diamond bid improved North's hand some, but surely the North hand over a pass by West is worth at least 3♠? My overcall is described as 12-18 points, so North should know game is at very least possible. (I'm assuming the bot doesn't know enough to discount his AK♥ some because of the opening bid).

The so-called "fourth suit forcing" 1m-1h-1s-2s was previously reported and supposedly fixed next version. Hopefully they also fixed the definition of your 3s continuation which should have a more specific point range.

 

Agree 2nd hand is bizarre.
