Argine chose.. pass; 3♦x was cold but it also came up with the only lead which allowed it to make +2 to add insult to injury.

thepossum Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I am still questioning whether we are in fact bidding Acol. It has some similarities at times, I accept. I try to cross reference with the EBU Acol Standard Oh no. Its the Possum again. All I try to do is bid whatever system I think I am playing.

helene_t Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Well TBF it does say 'non-forcing' - maybe you need to press the double button a little harder.:) It also says that it has both majors, so pass is probably a bug.

It bids it so regularly, and (amongst other reasons) makes it impossible to have any form of meaningful slam auction, especially when it seems to have no idea what it's meant to mean.

helene_t Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 I am really confused about whether Argine opens the major or the minor with 4432 shapes outside the NT range. I suppose I could just investigate. It seems that it opens the major at least sometimes, but the hover info doesn't indicate that a 1NT rebid denies a 4-card major.

I would already strangle a human partner who bid 2♥ with a hand like this, even without explicit agreement to exclude it.What is the problem to show this hand later if necessary?I am balanced (transfer and investigate slam) or spades (ISL raise) or a single suit minor (bid hearts).

smerriman Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Another one where they scramble to 6nt after I have doubled every one of their bids LinkFixed your link. I had the same hand, and elected to bid 3♠ as South. West tried a 4♥ cuebid, intended as Michaels, but described as strong (despite being a passed hand). East was either asking for the minor, or bidding a natural 4NT for some reason, but it ended up being interpreted as Blackwood.

Seems to be a fundamental issue with how they're programmed. GIBs approach seems better and better the more I play with Argine! Sadly, misplayed for only down 4 and a 58% score :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
