I voted for the last option =) Give me the ♥9 rather than the ♥7 NV opposite a passed partner and you might get me to do it.

w/r because it's always fun to mess up people's forcing NT sequences. else not because I'm too young to die.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I don't quite understand the comments and options. It's more attractive to bid here at w/w than w/r.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Don't agree with this, the biggest risk is going down 3 doubled, and a big gain is finding a good save. This hand does not rate to be a partscore hand where they are going to go down 2 and we are cold for a partscore (in which case w/w is better).

True about down 3 doubled. Not so sure about the save 
That is about the last thought on my mind at this point. At the very least the best vul is debatable.
Damn you are going to be so unarguable with for a while. Stupid credibitility. Darn you Nickell!

Its so tempting when they play a nebulous forcing no trump but I wouldn't. I want partner to trust my two-level overcalls a bit much than this.

We were about 6 boards over average when this hand came up. I tried a 2♥ overcall R/W lol.
Pard couldn't take a joke with ♠AKQx ♥Jx ♦xxx ♣Axxx. RHO hit.
Stiff ♥Q offside lol.
We still had 67%.

Before reading this, I wanted to tell the same joke. I thought it was funny.
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Irrespective of the bridge, which I would pass and consider it a minor issue, I just HAD to vote for the last option. Claytoned!
