The Unexpected Top

Sometimes I will take a normal action and then surprisingly get a top result. A lot of times I don’t do anything out of the ordinary. It makes me wonder why.

Here are some hands that illustrate this phenomenon.

On this last hand, the robot opened 3!H in front of me. I bid 3NT instead of 3!S like the field did, and got a top for it. I didn’t have the full URL, so I don’t have any comment in this link.
