On board 4, defending vs 3NT by E after ♠3 to the ♠K and N returning a ♠ to the ♠A, is it ok for S to play a ♥? I guess with an expert human partner you shouldn't but with a robot is it not right due to the fact that you can kind of read the ♠Q situation? In other words, are you not to blame as an expert for not playing a ♥2 at trick 3 with a robot partner?
A good declarer should play the queen of spades at trick 2, so you won't know if partner has the jack of spades or not. It could easily be right to just cash out your spades if partner has KJxx(x) of spades. You don't know if partner has the king of clubs or the ace of diamonds, so you may just be conceding tricks by shifting to the heart.
What lead would you suggest on board 5 by east after 1d 1h 2nt 3nt please
I would lead the 6 of spades. Definitely an unbid suit and I would prefer leading from three little to leading from Axx of clubs.
B7 I was west. Should I have accepted East's 2NT invite with 3♥ in case partner got five hearts? Then should East run to 4♥ after 3NT was doubled?
Thats not a crazy idea. I havent really seen that come up before after a 2S rebid. It is more common that it happens after 1S-1N-2D. Good thought, I dont know if its right but it seeems like a smart idea as long as your partner is on the same page as you.
Should I have doubled bd 7? Always fearful they will change bid.
Yes you should double. You have to be afraid that if you don't double you will go minus a game. If they run thats still better than -630. They should run if you are the kind of person who would never double them aggressively. I double them sometimes when I am not sure that I have them beat just becuase I have dummy's suit. So if they run every time, they will be wrong sometimes. Either way, you are better off -130 or whatever you push them to than -600
