1♠ for now, not a problem yet.
If partner rebids 2♦ I play 2♥ as forcing, and will have to decide between 2♥ and 2♠. I'll give him 2♥.
Kind regards,
Harald

Not playing reverse Flannery I'd bid 1S. Then it depends on partner's rebid, 1NT is quite different from 2D.

I think I'd bid 2S over 2D (but I play 2H forcing to game usually, obviously if this is natural NF I would bid 2H).
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I respond 1♠.

If partner rebids 2♦, I will bid 2♥, which I play as nonforcing (3♣ would be artificial and forcing).

If partner rebids 2♣, I will bid 2♠ and hope that I can get out of the auction.

No, sorry. Our auction went 1♦-1♠-1NT-2♥-2♠, making exactly. However, our 2♥ bid is defined as nonforcing, as we use GoLady with both majors and a true game force.

I kinda figured that most people would respond 1♠, but was curious as to what people would then do over 1NT, 2♣, and 2♦.

This hand is complicate in the systems I normally play.

I play 1m 2 M as a weak two, so I must decide between:

1♦ 2 ♠ and forget about the hearts and
1 ♦ 1 ♠ with the following sequences:

1 ♦ 1 ♠ 1 NT 2 ♥ (non forcing here)
1 ♦ 1 ♠ 2 ♣ aua 2 ♥ is art. and forcing
2 ♠ is 8-11
1♦ 1 ♠ 2 ♦ pass maybe wrong
2 ♥ forcing, but we can survive, not GF yet.
2 ♠ 8-11

I think I had to forget the hearts and bid a direct 2 ♠.

In a normal system, this is an easy 1 ♠ bid.
Kind Regards

1♠. Too early to make a plan, and it doesn't affect our decision anyway. Echo the comments about Reverse Flannery.

Over either 2♣ or 2♦ by partner you are sort of forced to just rebid 2♠. If you happen to have a good heart fit you just chalk it up to a weakness of standard bidding.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I have the same problems as Roland, if caught asleep I might find myself too high.

Because the hand is way too good, we might miss game. Because 1D is unlikely to be our best spot. Because if you pass you might go down in 1D instead of making 4S opposite Qxxx Ax KQxx AKx

because HCP are not a good evaluation of the strength of this hand.
