well this is embarrassing. looks like they make very little in spades and we make 9 tricks in hearts. also, partner is not a passed hand.

You only make 8 tricks in hearts on best (normal) defense. Not that it really matters...minor quibble

This just goes to show the upside in overcalling, east doesn't know whether opener has 5 spades or 6 and might do the wrong thing, whatever that is.

And how is opener "either 5S-5m with 6-9 or 3-6 with just 6 spades" anyway, isn't that 8 with 6 spades?
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Quite so. And East's 3S bid is also fishy.

With partner a non-passed hand the creative 3NT overcall is no longer in my considerations. Looks like fairly easy 3♥ overcall to me.
