I pass, I guess pd knows that I have an opening with 5 Hearts.
I have short spades, but he will guess that too after the bidding.
So I have not enough reasons to bid on, I leave it to part.

Pass.
Where do all these 5H bidders come from? 4S hasn't made yet, 5H is certainly not making and it doesn't take much for it to be going for 800.
In a non-pick-up partnership there are inferences available about partner's lack of a minor suit fit bid, but these may not be valid here.

Is it just me, or every time you introduce your partner this way in your problems, don't they end up doing something idiotic and you end up having to defend they are world class...
Anyway I pass.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

The classification "World Class" is one awarded by BBO - it is not a self rating.
Whether or not you agree with my partner's action on this hand is not the issue. I am interested in the answer to the problem on my cards that I presented.

No its not. When you set yourself up, you have a range of options which are (if I remember rightly) private, novice, intermediate, advanced, expert, world class. The last of these is as much a self rating as the second.
It has a pretty well defined meaning which many of the players who call themselves don't qualify for, but what else is new?

So partner makes a preemptive raise to 4♥ and your pass of 4♠ is forcing?
Good one.
