In direct seat, robot made a takeout double of a 1c opening bid.

Next player passed.

I had 4-4 majors and an opening hand so I cue bid.

Standard methods following a cue bid by advancer of a takeout double are to bid 4+ card suits up the line until a suit is bid and supported.

Robot bid 2d.

I bid 2h.

Robot jumped to a heart game with 3-card support.

I then checked the interpretation of my 2h bid and it said it shows a 5-card heart suit.

So the robot is not using standard methods for this auction, in which advancer of a takeout double makes a cue bid.

In fact, I've never seen anywhere where advancer's cue bid, followed by a new suit by advancer, shows a 5-card suit.

I play lots of acbl robot games and really like them. Just making a friendly suggestion for improvement...thanks for the good work you do on the robot software!
