3s. There will be more bidding. 4s will come back around. 5C. Torturing partner is fun. QXX AKXXXX X KQX would be fun, too.

Well I am bidding either 4♥ or 4♣. 4♣ to maybe start the defense correctly against 4 or 5♠

I'm not screwing around here. 4♠. That should get the message across.

4♣ by me. We're bidding to the five level and want to steer the defense.

I can't decide what to do so I'm waiting for someone to convince me of something. I can see good merit in at least 4 different choices. If you force me to choose now I'll go with 5♥, I don't like letting them bid 4 in these places and don't think the hand quite makes it to a 4♠ bid.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

5♥. Give them the last guess. Slam is possible but I think it is unlikely and 4♠ is too encouraging and will lead to partner bidding six when we should be defending 5♠.

4♠ for me.

Perhaps 4♠ should be a little stronger (0-5 in the majors for example), but it does show the void, and I much prefer it over any other bid. I don't like bids such as 4♣ which give the opponents a lot of room for not much upside, and 5♥ sounds like a more preemptive hand.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.
