The action was 1d/1s/2c/2d/2nt/3s/4s/4nt(aces)...(OK or something similar I close the hand before I even play it
I had a hand looks like AKQxxx s Axxx d and I fail to remember if was xx x or kx x

My point anyway was that he had 7!diamoms and only one spade...
He prefer the game on 4s with 7 spades even if we had 11 diamonds!

After I see the hand I closed it imidiatlly I don't even try to see if the s was 3-3

Edit we have easily 6d

I cannot comment on how you see the auction but once you find a fit, whether it is major or minor suit, you play in that suit 99% of the time. Sometimes minor suit fits play in 3NT especially at MPs as it will give a better result. If you have a double fit you have a choice. When there is only one fit you should play in it. 4-4 is usually better than 7-1 as when trumps are 3-2 you will gain two extra trump tricks.

If the auction is anything like the one you described, then I suspect this was your mistake, not the robot's. Your bid of 2 shows a weak hand (~6-9 points) and doesn't promise diamond support.. anything after that is likely to be very weird.

On top of that, if GIB had 7 diamonds and a singleton spade, and 4 clubs for the 2 bid.. then they're never bidding 2NT; they're certainly going to rebid diamonds, and you still wanted to play in spades. So you probably miscounted the cards as well.

When posting hands and auctions, use the hand editor which is this icon at the top of the full editor Posted Image This makes things much easier to see.
