Where will you land, and what's your auction on this one with no interference? What about with a 2♥ overcall by West? Enjoy

3H 3S
4C 4H
4S 5N
6C
3D 55 minors GF, 3H shortness ask, 3S short hearts. South maybe has a 7C bid the way the auction went over 5N, but thats strange.

I would probably land in 6♣, with or without overcall.
If my pard held the N hand, he might drive to 7

Without interference, two likely auctions, many possible:
1NT-2♠(artificial, may possibilities)
2NT(no four-card minor unless minimum)-3♥(shortness)
4♥(1430 RKCB clubs)-4♠(1)
4NT(Queen?)-5♦(yes, and diamond King)
5♥(void here?)-7♣(yes, and spade King)
or
1NT-3♥(ostensibly 3145/3154)
4♥...
With 2♥ overcall (natural, I assume):
1NT-(2♥)-4♦
This is weird. 4♦ should be Texas, but Texas into hearts makes no sense. However, the default is that Texas into their suit is a shortness slam try. We reach 6♣, but 7♣ is a bit rich.

It's very easy to come up with an auction to reach 7♣ in some reasonable looking way. Whether that auction would actually occur at the table, who knows? But if you reach 3NT you are just lazy I think.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

"Lazy?"
That's too kind a word. I cannot imagine any auction where reaching 3NT is not actually quite retarded.

Good problem. Have no idea how to bid this.
In Modern American Bidding, Eric Kokish suggests 1N 3D = 55 or better minors, gf then 3H = shape ask then 4H = 3055 (4S = 0355) but he doesn't discuss how opener sets trumps and goes from there. If responder bids 4M, maybe you can play 4N as a relay to 5C. That would let opener bid 5m to set trumps and ask for key cards. Don't see how that makes it easy to get to 7C though.
Edit: In MAB, 3D includes 54 minors also.
