3♠ looks normal.
... 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

3♠ looks dangerous, but I do it anyway.

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

How can 3♠ be dangerous when the other table will obviously bid it, too?

IMO the only feasible alternative to 3♠ is X. Note that feasible does not mean that X is equal or superior to 3♠. I would personally choose 3♠ as a WTP

If we assume (3C) has a range of 5-10 or 4-9 (ask!), GOP is expected to have

(28 - (15/2 or 13/2))/2= (20.5 or 21.5)/2= 10 1/4 or 10 3/4 HCP

12 + 10.5 = 22.5
We rate to be at least 50% likely to be safe at the three level.

A similar calculation can show that We are more than 50% likely to have a ♠ fit.

As long as GOP knows not to jump the bidding unless they have 12+ Dummy Points (I =am= Balancing after all), I bid 3S.

WTP?
