Normally when I get a zero it is because I did something stupid, but here I think it was unlucky.

But let us see if you can do better

My first impression without seeing the spoiler was to bid 6NT protecting the K5. If you are missing two aces, it is 95%+ that you are going down in 6 also. I agree that 6 may give you a better chance to make the contract but without a 5-card side suit in your own hand which could be ruffed out promoting the 5th card as a trick as long as the opponents cards split 4-2/3-3/4-3, there cannot be many hands imo where you are not collecting 12 tricks.

A contract against human opps. could see a Lightner X being bid - I do not know if the robots do Lightner X's - and then you would remove to 6NT.

Yes, unlucky to find the 4-0 split, just 10%

I don't think I would have gone for 6NT unless they doubled.
Even with an 11+ guaranteed, they could still have a minor Q which looks a bigger risk than J 4th.

4NT? - not even sure what it would mean in this auction - if its Blackwood in H that's what I would consider
Looking at the spoiler maybe it ........
but being me there is always a chance I would..... but sadly I have already read the thread
If I have doubts in the heat of the moment I often stop in .... but I have already read the thread

I had a truly bad 0% today due to complete lack of concentration and a brain snap :(
...in fact on the doing something stupid theme. I had two in the same tourney - the other being a psych that pushed the bot to game - exactly the same number of tricks but 0% - almost worthy of a thread too - sorry it should have been 100% - the stupidity was my defence:(
