CHO open 4, RHO bids 4
Now 5 bid from human Robot interpret as 21+ points and continues bidding after double from LHO.

If you had 21 points I agree with Gib 6 bid you might even make 7.

There are a lot of competitive bids which show ridiculous points. Obviously you were just competing maybe not even planning on making.

To avoid this you can hover over a bid you are considering and see what it means.

But really the programmers should fix it so you can make a competitive bid especially in balance seat without showing 20 points.





Sarcasm is a state of mind

If you look at traveler you can see 2 big groups of people.

One group noticed the ridiculous meaning of 5 bid decided to stay out and gave opponents 420. 44% score.
Another group ignored the explanation and got to 6th level, that was a good sacrifice for half of people (300 and 79%) and not so good for another half.

That lose/lose choice is a clear bug and should be fixed.
