I was sitting south and robot north. Hands were N: KJ9872; - ; KJ10; QJ7
S: Q543; KJ9653; A; A6
Bidding was North/South: 1S - 2H;
3C - 4N;
5D - 5S;
5N - 6S. I do not understand robot 5NT bid with description "queen. No lower kings - QC; 16-22tp." North does have 2 kings (KS; KD)

Welcome to the Forums, Jesse.

You are bidding RKC for clubs, because you bid 4N directly over a natural 3 bid. When you ask about the Q, he cannot show you any kings without going past 6, so he doesn't show you his kings. This is why he says he has "no lower kings" not "no kings". If you want to be bidding RKC in spades, you must bid 3 over 3, which would be forcing since you are playing 2/1 with GIB.

PS: It was generous of you to not complain about GIB's 3 bid!

Thank you for your response. I was really confused! I didn't realise my 5S bid was asking for club queen!

By the way... your North only has 12 cards. If the missing one is a club, that might explain his 3 bid.
