Hi,

#1 I dont like the way S sold his hand, at best he is min for the 2S bid, so I dont like the raise from 3S to 4S
#2 I would have passed with your hand, you provide at best 1 trick for p, also 2S does not promise a 6 carder,
the bid could be made on a 5 carder, i.e. you dont know, if the partner ship has a fit

And I missed the fact, that this is a Robot bidding q.
With kind regards
Uwe Gebhardt (P_Marlowe)

2 shows 18+ to GIB, and the database tells it to invite with 23. K + two doubletons = 5.

Of course, GIB's logic also tells it that passing is completely obviously better than 3, so GIB will always pass your 2 bid.

So it depends what "is it correct" means; the only thing worth noting here is the usual aspect that you're playing with a version of the robot that has half of its logic deleted.

My upper limit for overcalls is higher then usual. I'd never bid X with this south hand. I would argue it is too weak for a double even with the traditional upper limit for an overcall.

Apart from that, I sympathize with 3 and understand it got raised to 4.

What are EW agreements after a double of 1?
I do hope they impose 1 rather than 2.
