Balancing when playing with a robot is dangerous

---

Even vulnerable I think most of us will bid 3♣.

2♣=5+♣, 11-15 HCP, 12+ total points

And now 3♣ is defined as 6+♣, 15- HCP and 17+ total points

Now partner has the following hand

---

and bids 3♦ showing 7+ HCP and 8 total points.

I bid 3N just hoping for the best and went down 6 vulnerable - ouch

Now in the replay (It was a robot challenge) my opponent did even worse

---

Only way out is 4♣

I think that in this sequence North should have at least (9)10 HCP / Total points to GF

3♣ is a slight overbid imo, but I say with a human partner that - I hope - is where the contract will end. Robot sees differently.

Does this mean that your fundamental problem with GIB is that you don't like the bidding system that it uses and you want the developers to change it to something more to your liking?

No I am just pinpointing areas, where the Robot bids to much, and a hand that have passed once and then is balancing, will not justify a raise by 8 total points. I am trying to be loyal to the bots system
