On 5 the robot found the 7S! Over 2S I bid a 3H cue bid (2+S; biddable C; 19+ total points). Robot asked for key cards, asked for kings, then bid the grand. For once I'm impressed by its hand evaluation.
Board 8 was interesting for me, the robots let me make an overtrick. The 10 of diamonds came in handy - I won the club lead in hand, cashed two rounds of trumps and led a club up. West ruffed and led the 9 of diamonds, I ducked in dummy and East let me win my 10. So I led a trump to dummy, now (after trying to claim having miscounted the clubs) I led K and another club, throwing my last diamond. East led a spade so I finessed and now East thought they had to keep diamonds so threw a spade and my 9 came good 😃
Over Drury one option for continuations is to bid 2D with any invite or any singleton splinter, 3 level 5-5 GF and 4 level as void splinters. I like these methods since hands with voids are so hard to get to slam
2. I did lead a low spade here and regretted it when I saw dummy because I knew the bots could cash out at that point. I couldn't believe they tried to set up a club. Usually their declarer play is the strongest part of their game but they obviously screwed up here. 5. I couldn't believe that missing the laydown 7S with 6NT+1 was still 78%. 6. I pushed them to 3 (2NT over 2S) and got nothing to show for that. 7. Interesting, I saw this as a slam hand and obviously the bots missed their cashing spades. It all added up to one big tie even though we only had the same result on board 1. Fun set.
This was the best set I've ever done: 4H+2 (85.7), 3N-1 (75) 6S+1 (100), 6N+1 (85.7), 7S (100) (robot found this after I cue bid 3H - impressed!!), 4C(82.1), 5D+1 (53.6) (robot correctly signed off here after my slam try but terrible defence [I didn't get the club lead when I cue bid them ;-) ] on the other tables let through 5D+2 and even 6D+1 so not a great score but what can you do!), 3N+1 (100). So 85.3% overall!!

I played this set on the return trip from NYC in the back of the car on my phone while falling asleep. Do not recommend.
On 2. I did the same, poor declarer play with the robots snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Love your videos but can’t stand all the UA-cam ads. It’s a shame BBO doesn’t post your videos anymore.
