DrFell Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 [hv=pc=n&s=sqjt95hakqjt96dc6&w=s8642h7432dqt54c4&n=s3h5d632caqt98753&e=sak7h8dakj987ckj2&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=4cdr4hppdppp]399|300[/hv] This didn't happen at my table (my partner and I played a normal-looking 4♥S), but at one of the comparison tables. South was the only non-robot. The XX is described as 20+ total pts. 4♥x-8 was -2000. What was the worst robot call? I don't like any of East Robot's actions, but I think the final pass is probably the most egregious. (Let's not pile on South; whatever you may think of their choices, they worked.)

johnu Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Good bidding by GIB EW to avoid the even worse 5♥ or 6♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfi Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Lol. I had a similar hand and the same auction, except one level lower, in a national event a few years ago. Possibly not at the top of his game when surveying dummy, declarer missed the trump promotion to only go down 7 tricks. I think our teammates managed to find it on defence to beat slam at the other table. On the actual hand I think GIB East should have redoubled for SOS in the passout seat - I've never seen a contract go down 16 tricks.
