I know I shaded a bit to double second time, but it seems better if GIB just bids 3S here. There is no reason we couldn't have a vul game (not to mention the fact that they could make 3HX). Are simulations suggesting pass is best?

Shaded only a bit? You shaded by like another king at least. Second double is ridiculous. However I agree leaving it in is also nuts. I think we've had this before, that the range of the 3h bid is too low, could be up to 14 count.

Ok, shaded a lot. I've started experimenting a bit with bidding more aggressively in these situations than I ever would in real life playing with GIB.
