GIB - You are a challenging partner

[thorvald]

I got this hand

[hv=pc=n&s=s6ht3dakqjt5ca863&d=w&v=n&b=12&a=ppp1dp1np?]133|200[/hv]

 

Playing matchpoint.

 

In 4th hand a Pass could be right, but opening 1♦ seems right here.

 

Now 3N looks like a reasonable bid (gamble), but in MP with 15 comparisons, both pass and 2♣ could be right.

 

On the other hand we know that EW have the majors, and at least a 9-card fit in ♠, so passing and letting them into the game seems wrong.

 

I decided to bid 2♣

 

[hv=pc=n&s=s6ht3dakqjt5ca863&d=w&v=n&b=12&a=ppp1dp1np2cp2dp?]133|200[/hv]

 

Well, again pass could be right, especially as the bots in this sequence probably won't balance, on the other hand 3♦ would show 6+♦, 4+♣ and 16-17 total points. A perfect description of the hand

 

So the bidding continued

[hv=pc=n&s=s6ht3dakqjt5ca863&d=w&v=n&b=12&a=ppp1dp1np2cp2dp3dp3np?]133|200[/hv]

 

Having describe my hand perfectly Pass was the only option here

Only 4 down vulnerable

 

They have 420 in ♥ and ♠, but i doubt the result will be many MP worth.

 

It is also interesting to note, that 5♣ have chances, where 5♦ is almost hopeless, but I doubt the bot ever will learn that

Appears they turned off simulations here too :( Wonder why.

IDK who's bid is worst but 3 NT is wrong

opening 1 D in 4 chair after 3 pass with a 14 HPC and a running 6m suit isnt bad

gambling 3NT is my second choice North must pull to 4 ♣ (no spade stopper ) //

and South can make 10 trick in ♦ or club

[pescetom]

In 4th hand a Pass could be right, but opening 1♦ seems right here.

 

FWIW I don't like either: a higher number of diamonds seems right to me, at least with a human CHO.

 

spoiler

I see that the bug whereby South's bidding is not visible on my phone (pointed out by smerriman a few months ago and object of some hand waving by BBO staff, but still unresolved) is also present in a quote with a scroll viewed on PC.
