4♣
Sometimes you may have to bid 3♠ here when no other bid is reasonable. Here, though, we have 2 more attractive bids, in 3NT and 4♣.
As usual, bidding 3NT with Ax in their suit opposite likely shortage is risky, so I prefer to tell partner about my good club suit.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

4♣.

Justin told me I bid 3N too much with Ax, but I'll stick with my guns on this one. Partner will double with a lot of shapes that don't have a stopper like 2353 and we are fairly likely to be able to shut LHO out after ducking a heart. 11 tricks looks a long way away. Sure, if partner is something like 2155 I will regret this but I think it's percentage.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

3NT. This hand and situation are a lot different than the last situation to which Josh is referring.
