Second set, board 2, would your robot pd believe you had a singleton C after you'd overcalled 2NT, hence not give you a ruff?

[@jeffparker8913]

Oops - see krish covered that point just after I paused the video, lol.

[@jyutzler]

What is your philosophy for making unbalanced NT openings and overcalls against the bots? I know the bots tend to be exceedingly passive when defending NT contracts but it still seems like when I do it I'm just asking for an anti-percentage swing.

[@wolpertbridge]

When I am playing matchpoints I rarely open 1NT with a singleton with the robots for exactly the reason you mentioned. I am not looking for swings. I think I am supposed to do it more than I do so I am trying it a little more often to get a feel for it. At imps the downside is so much lower, so I am more willing to open 1NT.
