You hold Void, KQ32, Q64, AKT986. MP, NV vs. V, ACBL Robot Tournament

You open 1C, 1H, 1S, 2D. You try 3C, P, 3S by partner, P back to you. Your call?

The description of 3S is: 6+ . 7+ HCP, 8+ total points, forcing.

If 3 is forcing Gib thinks you have a bigger hand than you do. I pass.

Thanks to those that answered. 99 views and only 2 answers - wonder why?

3NT was the most common action at the table, and several did pass. I was fortunate, I rebid 4C and played there, cold for 5 but still gaining 100% of the matchpoints, since both 3NT and 3S fail. A few didn't bid 3C with my hand the previous round.

Partner held QJxxxx, Jx, K, xxxx. I just didn't like my chances in 3NT given that I did stretch a bit previously, and both GIB opponents had enough to bid suits of their own. I take this more seriously vs. GIB than I would against some human opponents.
