At the top rank now (Grand Master) and this game has unfortunately become less enjoyable to play the higher you go. I have to underbid on purpose in hopes that the computerized “partner” won’t tank is by overbidding- it gets annoying to play several rounds with a 1 bid bc your “partner” will always more than what they actually have. How does it bid 5 with NO spades or higher cards, only numbers? And then, of course, it works against you when you’re trying to get the other team to break their Nil bid- that’s when your partner suddenly has every spade in the book. The other team always seems to have every higher spade, too, especially if you appear to be winning- all of a sudden it’s K,A,Q,J,10,9,8,7,6 (you’ll have the one spade, #5, if you’re lucky), 4,3,2 and you’ll lose. Or it’ll do Nil Bids the entire game- 3 or 4 Nils and it wins the game, and your “partner” is blocking your attempts to get them to break by outbidding your lower bid - it’s as if it’s on their team, too. And the messed up part is that your “partner” will have the cards to beat them, but it just plays them out of whack on purpose just to make you
Lose- I had a “partner” that played its King, Ace, Queen and Jack AFTER the other team won their bids with lower numbered spades- and of course, we somehow lost, smh. It’s irritating.
