Bot penalty passes with just Axx in opp's suit and 4 card support in hearts.

I imagine that the underlying problem is GiB's requirement for and evaluation of 16-19 TP, as often.
But in general, the follow ups to almost any convention are almost always broken.

Hi,

one could also ask, why make the X?
You make the X to give p the chance to pass, on the auction Hxx is the best you
can hope for, unless you assume the opponents are lunatics.
And he is looking at inv. values, without a sure fit, the Lott recommends pass.
I am not convinced I would bid myself, but if I make a bid, it is 3H.

The thing is you are playing with a bot, you need to keep in mind, that you should
make it as simple as possible for the bot, avoid seq. that req. judgement, the bot
does not have judgement.

I get burned myself quite often, when I wonder why does he not bid simpler, but than
I know, I am not playing VERY freq., i.e. i will find / hit the "Fettnäpfchen" regular.

With kind regards
Marlowe
