Absent any agreements about WJS, I think that double followed by ♥ at the cheapest level is reasonable.

If you play 2H as forcing, you have to make a neg. X,
followed by bidding hearts.
Thats the way to bid a non forcing single suiter.
With kind regards

In spite of the vul, I fight for the hand with a WJS of 3♥. My hand is junkie and maybe the QJ of ♣ are worthless and PD's possible ♠ tenace is behind overcaller, but I am optimistic enough to go for 3♥

I am curious - how many of you play 3♥ on this auction as a weak jump shift?
I posed a similar problem in an earlier thread, and I got a number of responses as to the meaning of the 3♥ bid here.

North's 3♦ and 4♥ bids are absolutely unbelievable. Making a negative double is what I would do too since I don't play weak jump shifts. Planning on bidding hearts next of course, but the auction didn't allow for it.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Either partner didn't realize that you'd only shown 6+ points, or it never occurred to partner to limit her hand. She's only got 14 points, and they're nothing special.
If she's a regular, ask her how's she'd have bid differently with 12 points, or 21, same distribution.

Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.
