Robot #6513 Board 4.
I open 1NT opposite passed GIB, I don't remember if it was 3rd or 4th seat, but maybe doesn't matter?

1NT-2C
2D -2H
P

2H explained as 5H, 4S, 9 total points, but GIB had 4-4 majors and about six points, not invite and not garbage Stayman [I think GIB diesn't even play garbage Stayman, does it?].

GIB frequently bids a four card suit after a 2D response in Stayman, and describes it as a five card suit. It can be very frustrating. I have been learning to go by what I see GIB do as a pattern, and ignore the explanations, which are often silly and must refer to some other hand.
