1eyedjack Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Roaring!!!Agreed.South's pass was inspired also. I wonder how he could possibly have known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 There's been worse before... passing 2NT with 12 counts or not responding to a 1D opener with a 17 count. Still bizarre though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampyr Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 There are so many of these threads, and I think that people need to realise that bidding with a robot is not a partnership activity; what you need to do is bid around the robot, giving it as little influence on the final contract as you can. It is not clear whether this is a valid bridge skill, but it is certainly a skill one must learn when playing with robots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on the receiving end of 1H-4C-p, 1S-4H (SPL)-p, and most recently partner passing me in an unassuming cue bid. On two of these occasions a grand slam was cold. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 I notice that this was not played in a Robot tourney, which raises the question which version of the Robot was it? In a sense it is more damning if it was a basic bot, because they don't have the excuse of coming up with some unfortunate sims on which to base their action; entirely rule based.

AyunuS Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 It was the robots using to replace slower players in the express free automated fun tourneys. I thought those were the advanced robots but I guess I don't really know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Molyb Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Robot did this once:[hv=pc=n&w=shkqjt8642dt876c5&d=w&v=n&b=12&a=p(%21)1sp4cp(%21%21)4sdpp(...)p]133|200[/hv]Not the worst pass ever, but the worst 2 in the same deal by the same bot :)(also, the 4♠ bid was pretty awful (♠AKxxxx ♥- ♦KQx ♣xxxx) but that's not the point of this discussion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 South's pass was inspired also. I wonder how he could possibly have known.Maybe West assumed, for the purpose of the simulations, that S would have raised with a 10-card fit?
