2NT, even if we have 6 running clubs we still need one more trick for 3NT.

3NT, the opponents are full of crap imo.

Definitely 2NT, and partner is by far the most likely one to be full of crap, so to speak.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

2N will gets you 3♣ from pard. The opps will compete to 3♥, and you'll raise clubs (right?), and they'll take the push. Pass, double or 5♣? i.e.,

1H - 2C - 2H - 2N
3H - pass - pass - 4C
pass - pass - 4H - ?

At the table I doubled. The auction continues similarly:

1H - 2C - 2H - dbl
3H - 3S - 4H - ?

I'd pass 4♥ after 2Ning and 4♣ing. I might have passed instead of 4♣ing.

I still don't trust our enemies. The fact that partner could bid a second time implies his points are real, and therefore at least one of our enemies are psyching.

But double or 5♣?

If we defend 4♥x we will take 2 spade tricks, 1 heart trick and 1 club trick, most probably. Even with Ace and another heart lead you would probably let them score 2 club ruffs...♦AK most probably and his hearts likely 9 tricks. It may be only 8 tricks, but I wouldn't gamble on this one.

5♣? Probably lose a heart, 2 diamonds, instant down. Forget it.

So, although 4♥x will probably only net you 200 it is better than a certain-down 5♣. Besides, if partner really has a singleton diamond and can limit losers to 2 the opponents would probably only take 8 tricks anyway.

I whacked 4♥ too. I should have mentioned it was a 3 board playoff.

Scoring: IMP


North was jokering (a little). 4H was -1. 5♣ is a moderately lucky make.
