Talk about two more stinkers. On this hand, NOT A SINGLE NORTH GIB (9) made a move over the 2♠ (0-9 HCP, 4+ Spades) bid, despite a great 19 that I count up as pretty much game. 3 West GIBs didn't open 2♦ (???), and the other 3 Souths passed (???) the Double.

On this hand, why can't I stop in 4 of a minor, especially once partner has limited his hand? Maybe we don't have any game, and I want to stop. I recommend that 3m followed by 4m is to play when the 2♠ bidder is limited to less than 13.
