wbartley Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Matchpoint game. Basic robots. Human South. [hv=pc=n&s=s842hkt864dt3ckt9&w=st53hqdkj8542cqj5&n=sqj97haj953d9c763&e=sak6h72daq76ca842&d=e&v=n&b=2&a=1np3cp3dp3hd3nppp&p=h6hqhah2sqsas2s5d7d3djd9d8c3dqdtdas4d4h5d6s8dks9d5c6c8c9d2c7h7h4cqh3cactskh8s3s7c4ckcjh9hksthjc2htc5sj]399|300[/hv] GIB bids 3NT with a weak doubleton heart after partner shows a singleton heart. Luckily, GIB North shifted after winning the first round of hearts. Next time I'll lead the ♥K from KTxxx when GIB doubles for the lead.

pescetom Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 GIB bids 3NT with a weak doubleton heart after partner shows a singleton heart. Are you sure GIB standard is that partner has shown a singleton rather than a second suit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Are you sure GIB standard is that partner has shown a singleton rather than a second suit?Yes! 3♣ Minor Suit Transfer (Promises 6+ diamonds. Opener must bid 3♦) If responder's next bid is 3 of a new suit, he is promising a singleton or void in that suit, but not necessarily slam interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm02130 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Here's my latest robot fiasco. Robot has: Kxx AQ109xxx x xx I have Q10x void AKQJxx AKQx Robot opens 1H. Auction goes 3d, 3h, 4c, 4h 5d, 5h, 6d, 6h. The software has serious captaincy issues. 6d was the last makeable spot. 6nt makes if they lead a spade, otherwise no. I can't get the gd robot to shut up with its broken suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Soloway jump shifts, as GIB does, your 4♣ bid shows support for hearts and shortness in clubs. Your further diamond bids are then clearly cuebids.

HardVector Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Please don't change the way you play based on what the bots do. You will just make yourself unplayable with real people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Please don't change the way you play based on what the bots do. You will just make yourself unplayable with real people. Do you make the same bids with every partner and expect that they all play those sequences exactly the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
