I occasionally fall into a trap with the following sequence and hand types when many people seem confident to bid to 3 NT without a stopper in a suit. This seems rather risky to me. Should south bid 3S showing a stopper. How do most 2/1 players as for stoppers and how does GiB do it.
Most people with this seem to just take the plunge with a points based 3NT bid and risk not having a heart stopper but I would like to be more sure
