Partner GIB deals:

I can see the case for X showing hearts or showing a takeout of spades, but a takeout of hearts?

i play doubles in a similar style - it makes it easier for you to smack them for penalties without one hand having a trump stack. as the double's takeout of hearts it implies some spades, so responder can smack it on 3.

you just wait for them to complete the transfer if you have a takeout double of spades.

Smack them in what contract? They're not going to play 2♥. How does knowing partner have exactly 2♥ help me smack them in a ♠ contract?
