thepossum Posted March 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 No. Is there no bid that can force or even explore majorsWhat if I showed you North's hand :)What if I told you that other major Bridge software manged to find 6 spades with not too much trouble when even a grand was possibleWhat if I told you that no matter what reasonable bid I could think of as South I could not get past 5 heartsMy problem is only with the North bot because West made an excellent pre-emptIs it possible to elect to play East in robot tourneys?FYI An offshape double will apparently get you into a more forcing situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how many others were hoping for more- and other major Bridge software somehow managed a bidRHO doesn't have much, long clubs but I only have one of them etcWhat have I got. Oh 13 points and some shapeYou may question my (and most of the rest of the field's) choice of 4H but I have reason to believe the North bot did not even show up today and delegated to a lesser and much less experienced botScored ok but I was so sad to miss the slam I knew was there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
