bridgbum Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Robot's hand: Q54 AQJ87 J986 Q Robot is dealer. 1h 1s2d 3c <--- fsf, robot says. game force.3h <-------- why not 3s to show 3-card support? Here's one auction that occurred: 1h 1s2d 3c3h 3nt4s <-------- why did robot delay showing 3-card support? did it treat its good heart suit as a 6-card suit?? Unlikely, I would think.

Bbradley62 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Looks like a bug to me... the explanation of 3♥ clearly denies three spades, and doesn't show extras in hearts, since it could be 2542 (or 1543?) without a club stopper.[hv=bbo=y&lin=pn|amr777,~~M27688,~~M27686,~~M27687|st%7C%7Cmd%7C3S3678AH4KD7QAC45J%2CS2TJKH9D4TKC3678K%2CS45QH78JQAD689JCQ%2C%7Crh%7C%7Cah%7CBoard%201%7Csv%7Co%7Cmb%7C1H%7Can%7CMajor%20suit%20opening%20--%205%2B%20%21H%3B%2011-21%20HCP%3B%2012-22%20total%20points%20%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C1S%7Can%7COne%20over%20one%20--%204%2B%20%21S%3B%206%2B%20total%20points%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C2D%7Can%7COpener%20two%20rebid%20--%203-%20%21C%3B%204%2B%20%21D%3B%205%2B%20%21H%3B%203-%20%21S%3B%2011-16%20HCP%3B%2012-18%20total%20points%20%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C3C%7Can%7CFourth%20suit%20forcing%20--%204%2B%20%21S%3B%2013%2B%20total%20%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C3H%7Can%7CNo%20stoppers%20to%20bid%20--%203-%20%21C%3B%204%2B%20%21D%3B%205%2B%20%21H%3B%202-%20%21S%3B%2011-16%20HCP%3B%2012-18%20total%20points%3B%20at%20best%20partial%20stop%20in%20%21C%20%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C3N%7Can%7C5-%20%21H%3B%204-5%20%21S%3B%2021-%20HCP%3B%2013%2B%20total%20points%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C4S%7Can%7C3-%20%21C%3B%204%2B%20%21D%3B%205%2B%20%21H%3B%202%20%21S%3B%2011-16%20HCP%3B%2012-17%20total%20points%3B%20at%20best%20partial%20stop%20in%20%21C%20%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cpc%7C]360|270[/hv]This is also another example of the spastic explanations of NT bids. 3N should include "2-♥", not "5-♥" as well as include a ♣ stopper.

iandayre Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 No sensible explanation for GIB's action exists. There could hardly be a more clear-cut call than 3S over 3C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tu Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 There's also the issue that most experts (at least on the U.S. side of the pond) think it's right to raise spades immediately with this sort of distribution (3541), not bid diamonds, with minimum strength hands.
