Help
Three times I have doubled a 3NT contract when playing with robots, asking for a lead in dummy's first bid suit. In none of the cases, my p led the suit, although it did have one or two cards in the suit to lead. Also it seems as if declarer (also robot) doesn't expect me to have length and strength in dummy's first bid suit.

What explanation does it give for your double of 3NT?

I just had a similar auction where the robots didn't lead dummy's suit:
(1♣) P (1♠) P
(1NT) P (P) X
I doubled, the explanation was something like "Penalties, asks for the lead of dummy's suit", yet partner Gib led a 4th best heart instead of his Qx of spades.
(1♣) P (1♠) P
(1NT) P (P) X

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.
