I think I'll bid 4♦, I don't want partner to mistake 4♣ for some sort of encouragement. And, partner should be prepared for me to return to my suit, it will be a common action over his 3♥.

With a club guard I would usually bid 3NT just in case that was what p was fishing for. With this junk it might be better to bid 4♦. Interesting problem.

I'm sure it won't be popular, and I'm honestly not sure what I would do, but if there was ever a hand where the odds are with passing a forcing bid before things get worse...
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

4D, but not liking it.

I would open 3♦ or 4♦, never 2♦.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Hi,

I may be in a minority here, but I dont believe,
that 3H is forcing, so I would pass.

With kind regards

Thanks all for the comments: I was north and my hand: Kx.AQJ9x.AKTx.xx, I felt that 3 top losers made 5D unlikely and I hoped to survive 3H.
Anyway, this was with a new partner who had earlier not opened a weak 2D because he had a weak side 4 card major. In spite of my strength, perhaps my best call is 4d over 3c?

4♦. It's tempting to pass, but it could be terribly wrong. And very undiciplined.
Kind regards,
Harald
