For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

So partner knows that I have xxx (or Hx) in spades and 6 hearts and still offers 3 NT?

And I have small honours in my side suits and no singelton?

When I do not pass 3 NT with this hand, I should use 3 NT for another purpose, not as an offer to play.
Kind Regards

2♠ was a psyche and backfired :)

Maybe pulling this is better, but what do I know? Pass.

I've got a balanced hand yadda yadda...

problem is partner doesn't have much heart help most likely and I have no entries to my hand.

4♠.

2S does not have to have been a "psyche" to have been a non suit. He has found out you have spade support and chosen 3NT. Maybe he wanted to try a minor suit slam if you were short in spades.

If 2♠ was a psych then partner is an idiot for bidding 3NT. Anyway seems like an easy pass to me.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
