MP, Instant.

Interestingly (to me) no-one else tried 2N. Perhaps I was pessimistic.

Inaccurately, apparently. I'd also prefer a description of "feature ask" rather than "artificial force" for 2NT.

well, in the case GIB has no feature to show so reverts to a min.. Not surprising with you having 3 Kings. Don't think your being pessimistic if Gib lacks a top honor probably only making 3.

In some partnerships I play a 3N response to show this type of hand. Other I've shown Q as a feature but I usually get yelled at lol. Maybe opener should simply bid 4 on assumption your inviting in hearts and am a max.

If GIB actually means 2NT as a feature ask, which he does according to his convention card, then this is not discussing our favorite convention; it is asking that the description be changed to clarify GIB's actual intention instead of being vague.
