MP, Instant, 34

Something of a recurring theme. If the robots double for blood, just keep bidding and eventually they give up on doubling and start on bidding.

Although I do think that on this occasion East really has no concerns about leaving in the double of 2H.

It is amazing how ofter GIB passes doubles with nothing in the suit and bids with a trump stack. Is it just counting points? Isn't any part of the programming regarding how to react to doubles geared toward the holding in the trump suit?
