thorvald Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Tired of going down I decided just to make an invite on this board [hv=url=https://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?lin=st||pn|Thorvald,~Mwest,~Mnorth,~Meast|md|2SAT2HA74DAK4CQJ65,SK54HKQ953DJT98C8,SQ9HJT6D532CAK743,SJ8763H82DQ76CT92|sv|o|rh||ah|Board%208|mb|P|mb|P|mb|P|mb|1C|an|Minor%20suit%20opening%20--%203+%20!C;%2011-21%20HCP;%2012-22%20total%20points|mb|1H|an|One-level%20overcall%20--%205+%20!H;%208-11%20HCP;%209-12%20total%20points|mb|2C|an|4+%20!C;%206-10%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|2N|an|Invitational%20to%203NT%20game%20--%203+%20!C;%2018-20%20HCP;%2022-%20total%20points;%20likely%20stop%20in%20!H|mb|P|mb|3C|an|5+%20!C;%206-10%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|P|mb|P|pc|HK|pc|H6|pc|H8|pc|HA|pc|CQ|pc|C8|pc|C3|pc|C2|pc|C5|pc|H5|pc|CA|pc|CT|pc|C4|pc|C9|pc|CJ|pc|S4|pc|H4|pc|HQ|pc|HT|pc|H2|pc|DJ|pc|D5|pc|D6|pc|DA|pc|S2|pc|SK|pc|S9|pc|S3|pc|D8|pc|D2|pc|DQ|pc|DK|pc|H7|pc|H3|pc|HJ|pc|S7|pc|CK|pc|S8|pc|C6|pc|S5|pc|C7|pc|D7|pc|D4|pc|H9|pc|SQ|pc|S6|pc|SA|pc|DT|pc|ST|pc|D9|pc|D3|pc|SJ|]399|300[/hv] And it was a big surprise that the bot with a maximum (in fact I think the hand is to good for 2♣) did not accept the invite. I assume there is a rule telling it to bid 3♣ with 5♣, that overrules everything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorvald Posted September 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Looking at this hand[hv=url=https://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?lin=st||pn|Thorvald,~Mwest,~Mnorth,~Meast|md|1SAQ74HAJ54D52CJT9,SKT952H632DAKTC82,SJ8HQT9DQ87CK6543,S63HK87DJ9643CAQ7|sv|b|rh||ah|Board%207|mb|1C|an|Minor%20suit%20opening%20--%203+%20!C;%2011-21%20HCP;%2012-22%20total%20points|mb|1S|an|One-level%20overcall%20--%205+%20!S;%208-17%20HCP;%209-19%20total%20points|mb|3C|an|Preemptive%20raise%20--%205+%20!C;%204-9%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|P|mb|P|pc|DK|pc|D7|pc|D3|pc|D2|pc|DA|pc|D8|pc|D9|pc|D5|pc|H6|pc|HT|pc|H7|pc|HJ|pc|CJ|pc|C2|pc|C3|pc|CQ|pc|S6|pc|SA|pc|S2|pc|S8|pc|C9|pc|C8|pc|C4|pc|C7|pc|CT|pc|S5|pc|C5|pc|CA|pc|D6|pc|S4|pc|DT|pc|DQ|pc|CK|pc|H8|pc|S7|pc|H3|pc|HQ|pc|HK|pc|HA|pc|H2|pc|H4|pc|S9|pc|H9|pc|S3|pc|C6|pc|DJ|pc|H5|pc|ST|pc|SJ|pc|D4|pc|SQ|pc|SK|]399|300[/hv] it seems that with 5♣ and 4-9 points it bids 3♣, so perhaps 3♣ in the first example is not just showing 5♣, but also 10 HCP :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas43 Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Just for interest, if you had downgraded and opened 1NT would it have bid 3NT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
