I've raised this on a robot deal report and also in an email to support, but has anyone else noticed that bots have serious trouble responding to doubles? I've given up on penalty doubles as they almost always take them out (very frustrating when opps are not vulnerable) BUT the cap is when I double and it's given the automatic description of a takeout double and then the robot leaves it in....

guaranteed hideous score...

GIB is seriously pathetic in response to a takeout double of two level preempt, all opponents need to do raise to 3 and it won't act even with 5+of the other major and 8 HCP. Rediculous number of straight takeout double points but silly straight penalty bids like 1H,-,1NT,(2C/2D/2S),X- Double should be just strength since the 1 NT is so nebulous.
