I had no clue how to evaluate any of 4 the suits in play, all seemed a bit offensive, and a bit deffensive as well, all the 4 partially better given the bidding, but not necesarilly.

well one thing is clear you have useful honors in all suits where partner rates to hold 3 as it appears that he has a singleton or void in ♠

I think I pass this, the hand seems average to me, no clear preference, so partner can pick 4♥, 4♥X or 4♠

give me one spade less and one card elswhere more I double
give me ♦K and ♥Q I think I bid 4♠

well then the ♦Q is a useful card and both your kings look to be well placed so 4♠ ADDENDUM and the 4th ♠ doesn't hurt either

I'll just bid 4♠ then. I think there is a good chance Leftie bids 5♥ and we get rich. I'm not going to aim for both 4M contracts going down at IMP or partial IMP but maybe at pairs that's best....

I'd bid 4♠ too, though I doubt LHO is saving.

4♠
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

I have a solitary queen in the two suits bid by partner. That doesn't doesn't seem very offensive.

I also have the king of a suit bid on my right, and where parter is likely to be short. That seems quite defensive.

Finally, I have the king of a suit where partner probably has two or three cards. That seems more defensive than not.

The only thing that suggests bidding is the extra trump. That's counterbalanced by the relative shortage in partner's second suit.

I'd double. (Edit: or maybe pass is right. BUt I'm not bidding 4♠.)
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Partner has suggested 4S and we have a fourth spade. I think that's huge. Our honors aren't great but they could be worse. I'm bidding 4S.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

If we're in a force I want to pass. If not I'll bid 4♠ only because of the vulnerability and I think they'll save a lot with their spade shortness. It's sort of tactical though since at any other vul I'd double, we have the king of hearts and diamond shortness.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Double and lead the ♦Q.

The 4th spade is nice for spades but the off-suit kings and diamond shortness point to defending.

edit: I've never played in a Patton event, but double looks 100% clear at BAM, and only so-so at IMPs.

What is the 3♦ bid? I assumed something like a help-suit try. Is it a real side-suit in this auction?

I join the 4♠ camp. I have the ♥K, the doubleton ♦Q and 4 trumps, what else do I need!?

Edit: I gotta start checking the whole topic before answering. I think partner's bidding is flawed, either he has to pass the X, bid 3♠, open 1♦, or not open at all. It's also my fault for not having an ace...

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