Well 3♠ for the time being is obvious, what else am I suppose to do?

There's Dbl or 4♣...

But I'd bid a simple 3♠.

Agree that 3♠ is obvious. (Have a friend who disagreed, which is one of the reasons I posted this).

Trying to think of what happens now... I was playing with a bot so didn't get this bid in the room. But I think that partner bids 4♦.

I don't find any reasonable alternatives, we can show void in clubs instead of our suits, butpartner won't know later that we have 2 places to play.

3♠ wtp? :blink: 4♣ would be a raise in diamonds, Dbl and partner won't expect we are 6-6 (plus the follow up auctions would be way harder)

3S.

Anyone who answers "Dble" gets an incomplete since they didn't specify their opening lead.

Double is not a bridge bid, you don't even have a bid if partner bids 3♦ over it since 3 of a major isn't forcing. 4♣ now shows diamond support. So what else is there but 3♠? This might be an interesting bidding problem on the next round, not on this round.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

3S looks obvious to me.
