5♣. Sorry partner if something else was better, but I won't not bid game so I have to guess which one now. It's hard to know whether 3NT or 5♣ will make more often, but my gut says 5♣, and this bid is also far better for slam bidding since partner may be able to raise it when he would pass 3NT.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Josh has more nerve endings in his gut than in his brain so I'll also go with 5C.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

In MP i think 3Nt is a good gamble. If i thought that 3Nt isnt odd-on I would just pass. My stiff diamond is worth a 2nd trump trick.

I'll try 3N too, but I don't hate 5♣. I do hate 4♣ which is really losing bridge.

I think to beat 3N the opponents are going to have to find a soft spot in hearts probably.

Pick some various hands for pard and 3N and 5♣ both need something specific. Sometimes its the same thing, but 3N scores so great.

To me the best argument for 5♣ is that sometimes pard will bid 6.
