PS: is 2♣ supposed to deny 3 hearts?
PPS: Another request to get rid of the extraneous comment at the beginning of the 2♣ explanation in order to keep the more useful info that gets cut off.

Yes, playing support doubles, any call other than a double denies 3 Hearts. Some partnerships make exceptions to that by specific agreement, but GIB does not, from what I have seen. But then, the description says "3-". So who knows. As I have said on numerous occasions, GIB's bidding, for all its faults, is much better than the descriptions.

And that's the main reason why I say that I question the bridge expertise of the programmers. No expert or even solid advanced player would have come up with some of these ridiculous and inconsistent descriptions.

I could write a whole page or two on this subject but why get myself worked up? Time to relax.
