Here's a hand from a robot duplicate tournament. I was playing alongside another bbf'er
and discussing the hands afterwards. We both made the same bid on this hand but thought
it was worthy of a forum poll.

I'll double. If partner has a decent spade holding (a distinct possibility with no spade raise by RHO) we could crush this, or play 3NT which is probably no worse than a club hook. If partner jumps in hearts, I am okay with that too; I will bid 3S over 3H from partner. I think the hand is too good for 3C, and passing is absurd.

Did we have Lebensohl available to distinguish the strength? 4♣ for now but that may matter later...

I don't know, partner is a robot.
