500: Bot raising to 7NT or 8NT after opening 6NT #246

Open johnson520 opened 4 months ago

johnson520 commented 4 months ago

In 500 the escalation pathway for calling tricks is insane the bots will go from 6nt to 8nt after an opponent bids 7 of anything, skipping the 7NT. the system then plays as though it knows the other hand. There is no logic or corresponding game theory that would allow or accept a raising from 6nt to 8nt without first bidding 7NT

Practice 500 the bot player ALWAYS bids NO TRUMP when it holds the joker even when it’s impossible to play that bid AND WIN. Is there a default setting that needs adjusting?
