MP, best hand south, instant, pro gib 30
I was half inclined not to report this one. It came so close to making that perhaps it was all reasonable.
West cannot be faulted, but what is the 3S all about? South's X of 2H surely dictates caution?

GIB does this kind of thing all the time. Tries to pass out a part score (2♥ in this case) and then bids a game when the opponents balance even though partner has not shown anything extra.

A feeling I get is that most of the time that it does this it is because it upgrades its hand evaluation for opposition bidding, placing as much trust in the honesty of opps as it does with partner.
For instance, it has xxx in a suit, which initially it rates as discouraging. But then when oppo bid and support that suit strongly, suggesting a stiff opposite, then its values are working harder.
I may be reading too much into that, and this hand certainly is not a good example.

I don't understand the explanation of the double of 2♥. It says it shows biddable hearts. So, it's for penalty? But then North pulls it and then West bids more in South's face. Surprisingly, GIB actually guessed a two-way finesse incorrectly.

In next version, v31, there would be something like final destination. like competitive endpoint.
So once pair passed on some contract, say like here 2♥, GIB will not likely go through more then 3♥ while competes further if opps continue.
So here East would be allowed to bid up to 3♥.
Once human ( GIB-partner sometimes ) bids new suit despite approved with two passes suit, that final destination could be lifted based on new circumstances.
I.e.
1♥ - P - 2♥ - 3♣
P - P - 3♥ - 3♠
4♥ - ? (P or 4♠ )
Initial 3♣pp seems like our endpoint is nohigher than 4♣, but once partner bids new suit it changes endpoint and partner could bid 4♠ more likely as defense approach.
GIB would likely stay calm and tweak is toward calmness, but it should treat better where pair tried to stop and not go so much higher like now.
