so let's get a firm definition of solid vs "internally solid."


I assumed "internally solid" meant KQJ-7 or QJT-8 in this context - you know how many tricks your suit is playing for, and it's the same number whether partner has xx or a void. (I think the 4S bid includes some of the KQT type suits though.)

Pass?! Partner has something like KQJTxxx of spades and out. Even if he has the ace we still have two heart losers to worry about playing in diamonds, and he certainly won't have solid spades.

Why are we worried about heart losers if partner has all those spades?

I'm thinking "thanks partner, we just missed a slam". What a horrible bid!

What are you talking about?
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
