Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Besides playing for fun, most people also like to play bridge to win

I also pass and I think it is clear. Not funny though.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

I didn't think this was funny at first, but it has gotten funnier.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

It could easily be our hand in 5♦ or 5♥. My suspicion is that RHO has a massive black two suiter like KJxxx x x QJxxxx. Partner will leave in your double most of the time.

The exact same sequence occurred a while ago at MP. The responder had Ax QJxxx Qxxxx Q. When 4♠ got back to him, he had a choice of doubling or bidding 4nt and chose the latter, getting to 5♦ which could have beaten, but defense didn't get off to the right lead. The 4♠ bidder had QJxx xx x AJxxxx. Expecting the 4♠ bidder to have one more ♠ or that they may break 3-1 when the defense didn't hold the ♠A, the opening leader didn't lead a ♠ :P

I've looked at the hand for a long time and still don't know what to do. I'm afraid at the table I might have a tempo problem to complicate matters for partner...

I think Dbl might mean to partner that I don't have 4-card hearts and/or I have extras. Only half of this is true and the other half [extras] only so-so. And I don't have an agreement {Is there a standard or expert standard? If yes, I expect it to show extras and suggest penalty}
I'm passing. In my partnerships a negative double could be as little as xx-Axxxx-xxx-QJx.

Nothing except 'pass WTP' occurs to me. Am I missing something?
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

OK tell us Phil, you passed and you missed 5H and this was somehow funny?

Bidding is a joke IMO.

I held this hand and I thought it was a WTP pass. My opponent bid 5♥ and gained 3 IMPs for -500.

I think we need an "uninteresting bridge hands" forum for hands like this
