MP, Instant, 34

Not a major issue this. Indeed assuming, as I hope that the developers have as a high priority (given the volume of criticism) the treatment of balanced hands in balancing seat, this hand may disappear in the solution.

I am not proud of my own bidding on the hand, and I don't think that North's bidding is outrageously bad. It is a high risk, but at MP there are rewards.

My only point really is that if North wants to try for +120 with 2NT, in favour of a lesser penalty, it should not be described as invitational to 3NT. Had he any aspirations to invite to 3NT he would not have passed 1NT.

Why does North make a bid that he specifically describes as "4 HCP" when he actually holds AK?
