FelicityR Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I play Solitaire regularly on here - to improve my 2/1 bidding and for enjoyment. And sometimes I am left wondering what is exactly going on as the robots make some, in my opinion, very strange bids. This seems one of them. In a normal auction I would say 4♥ was some sort of advanced cue bid agreeing ♠. Other than that I haven't got the foggiest idea what 4♥ means on the above hand. Obviously, the robot pulled out the wrong bidding card from the box. Director! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Have seen GIB make slam tries on real drek. Here a slam try is in order, 3♠and 3 cover cards opposite a jump in ♠.To bid 4♥ is bizarre, it has no ♥ control and doesn't even have ♥ length, so all it can do is mess partner up. GIB should show A♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
