I pass. Whilst it is just about conceivable that slam makes on this hand, the 5 level is definitely not safe.

This should be unanimous, but since this is in the GIB forum, it may be that 4H conveys something different in GIB system.

Partner certainly had ways of getting me involved in the auction when 2S died around to her. She didn't want my input, and anyone who ever married will know not to give it when uninvited.

How does 6NT sound?
See my previous post. If the bid of 4 hearts shows 25+ pts and strong rebiddable hearts then 6NT seems not unreasonable at MPs.

Moral of the story for users: don't bid 4♥ if it shows 26-28 total points* (read the description). Moral of the story for developers: 4♥ doesn't show 26-28 total poitns.

yea that's way too much. But even opposite that monster, 6NT is probably a hopeless bid. food for thought?
