Click the link above aqua. Your partner is a robot and is not bidding 3S with A875/T84/QT/T984. Presumably a real-life partner of those that pass would bid on with this hand though.

This was a good hand to post imo, this is a bread and butter bridge situation (especially matchpoints) that is not fancy but is the type of decision that comes up all the time and swings a lot of points.

:P Posting that hand on BBO is a cut above simply resulting. It shows that nearly all of a large duplicate field (which in most BBO events is a considerable cut above flight A in most US regional pairs events, imo) bid 2, then 3 in front of partner - granted a robot, but a fairly good player whose errors tend toward weirdness rather than weakness.
On reflection, I have to concede that 3 the first time is too much given the poor spot cards and the fact that my ace is not working. Still, an almost 3 bid with a stiff has to take the push to protect partner who will too often pass with a hand where 3 is right.
