Scoring: IMP

3♣-ps-ps-??

If you double, how will you handle partner's response of 3♦,3♥ or 3♠?

I have long believed that this sequence in the long run would be enhanced by having Advancer use a Herbert Negative here:

3♣-X-P-? or 3♣-P-P-X-P-?

3♥ = semi-positive hearts
3♠ = semi-positive spades
4♦ = positive diamonds
3NT = flexible
3♦ = artificial, usually bust

Double, then raise 3♠ to game, pass 3♥, bid 3♠ over 3♦ unhappily.

This hand is a tad shy to be strong enough or shapely enough to use a "Leaping Michaels" type convention over 3-minor preempts:

4C = other minor and a major (4D asks major)
4D = both majors
4M = to play

I would pass all 3 responses. I expect partner to bid game if he has the equivalent of a very good constructive raise or more

Agree with maggieb, but I'm happy about it.

I double and pass if partner bids 3♦. I think bidding 3♠ on a hand this weak is simply stretching too much, and is very dangerous since my spades aren't good if partner doesn't fit them.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Double is a must. I would pass 3D after that.
