Just when you needed Gerber...yes, that old-fangled gadget for checking aces.

looks like an example constructed to prove its worth
But if you play 3S as a gadget for minors then you should be able to keycard in clubs, which would be even better here (although if he happens to have only 2 which is just possible with our 2nt then you are going to look silly).

ran this one through the simulator
defintely one to be playing something like walsh transfers....3♠ relay to 3nt then describe hand afterwards
but contract definetly should be played by 2NT hand to protect a King on lead.....% wise best contract is 5♦

I'm curious as to why none of you play in ACBL Daylong games. Seems like a knowledgeable group.

I had a similar issue recently. I opened 2NT and robot partner held QJTxxxxx and absolutely no entries. It might have been all right if I'd held xxx, but I held AK tight. 5C was cold but 3N went down. The robots don't seem to be programmed to understand the value of playing in a really long suit when it's a minor.
