MP, best hand South, robodupe, pro GIB 32

South shows game interest opposite a weak 2. What business does West have trying for 9 tricks as declarer with a balanced hand opposite a silent partner? There simply is no winning scenario, so I can't believe that sims contributed.

+800 didn't score a top. Not even shared. Why? Some Souths bid 3N over 2D. I toyed with it myself, but it showed 18+. And guess what? West bids 4S!!! Even GIB North found that double.

Of course GIB North found a double. Human South showed 18+ HCP. Any Robot can tell you that an opponent can't make a game if your partnership has 26+ HCP.
