It is happened recently at MBC. I prefer and suggest enter at table via full table. You start as kib and can watch bidding and players and shapes untill anyone leave seat and you try to enter so to know better your partner and opp. However last time because i didn't want to wait i was choising a table open with bots. The hand i saw :AKQJxx in spade, QJ10xx in heart, A in diamond and K in club. I open with 1♠ and my partner immediatly raise (!) than i bid 4NT with alert 1430kb. The answer was 5♦ and than it being 0 keys i ended on 5♠ but when dummy was discovered i noted the A of heart chatting that answere must be 5♣ and that raise was with two spade only (?). Fourthemore when playing i was removed three times without an explanation and three times i got to re-enter in table to play and realize contract. The hand of partner: xx in spade, Axx in heart, Q10xxx in diamond and xxx in club.

I don't understand your question or point being made.
There were no robots. Your partner does not get to see your alert and in all likelihood was not playing (and might not even know) 1430.
Would possession of a third Spade have improved prospects significantly?

You are always (as Zelandakh) most quickly. Thanks for the hand (but how you can do it so quickly if i had not told data ?) that was my intention to post. I wonder myself to try a player with bot and willing try to play with these because in MSN i could not play i seat but immediatly it change with three players. The answer to my chat (it was probably a justify) was that hand was not good to try slam. But you can see that if in heart was K slam is (or if K is in W). The problem is that if it is a mistake bidding ok but not if one think to alterate information. Infact lucky i had a spade selfsupporting but partner bid not know it and what type of hand i had and it is better to leave bid yet to improve (in profile it was not seemed that partner did not know RKB 1430). I posted this hand also because it is of type Queen denial for King information ( http://www.bridgebas...post__p__853965
