Scoring: MP


playing in a robot-MPs tourney, you pick up the hand above. What's the plan? There may well be a few interesting follow-ups as the cards lie :ph34r:

I'd x but if GIB doesn't understand X then bids, I'll learn something new.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

X assuming the robot will actually bid something if my LHO passes. If the other 3 players are robots a good case for BW can be made.

4H is a wtp. Speed is hugely important in robot races, and if you don't bid 4H you will lose a lot of seconds having some auction that will almost inevitably lead to 4H.

I think it was a duplicate robot tourney, wasn't it? So speed is not important. Anyway, agree with 4♥.

Since the scoring is MP, I assume it is a robot duplicate, as Helene says.

Still, I would bid 4♥. If I double and jump to 4♥, that probably shows s.th. a million+ total points, and GIB will put me in slam (or 5♥) too often.
