4S imo. 4H is obviously a ridiculous overbid, 4S is just an overbid, but 3S is an underbid so there you go.

Yes, but we're being asked for the worst of the choices. I'm having a hard time choosing between the ridiculous overbid and the ridiculous misdescription.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I voted for double, of course 4H is clearly nuts as well.

Close call between 3S and 4S.

I think x is stupid but chances to recover are great, so 4 Heart is the worst.

Dbl is beyond bad, so that is obviously the worst one.

I'd bid 4♠.

IMO 4♠=10, 3♠=7 4♥=5, _X=3.
For measure of badness, subtract from 10.

How does it make any sense to say 3♠ is an underbid but 4♠ is an overbid? There is no range between the bids! Of course it may well be very close to the border between them.

Personally I think 4♥ is worse than double.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I think 4♥ is worse than double, but both are really ridiculous. I would bid 4♠, no huge arguments with 3♠.

I voted 4 spades before I realized it was asking what I wouldn't consider bidding. Put me down for 4 hearts being the worst; 4 spades already is a slight overbid, there's no reason to make an even larger overbid.

Yeah, oops for me as well.

My initial thought was that double was most incorrect, but is actually unlikely to cause any major problems, whereas 4H is quite likely to be a disaster .

I think you need to have a separate poll if you want to ask that question. :(
