pilowsky Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 The west robot is my favourite robot.Your double implies exactly 3 spades.The robot prefers clubs.I suspect the west robot is cross that you didn't support his clubs.After all, he is telling you he only has 4 spades.with 4♣ he is telling you that he has 13+ points and a butt-load of clubs - why didn't you bid 5♣? I bet there were a few harsh words from West after dummy came down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spade7 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 3♣ is not forcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the best 2/1 bid?Admittedly, 3♣ was peculiar but 4♣ was alerted as 5+ ♣ 4+ ♠ 13+ total points.[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilowsky Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just played this hand in Prime.This time I had the Clubs and West suffered.https://tinyurl.com/y39f62xyI only got 76.7% - someone bid and made 6 Clubs.I guess when it's clubs, its clubs.

shyams Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 We're only in Jan yet. We still have 11 months in which the robots might find "better" ways to perpetrate even bigger horrors upon us :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
