Cue. Although trumps aren't that good, surely the Aces compensate for it.

I think it is borderline with the crummy trumps and might just lr at IMPS. Diamond hook if needed will be off and no guarantee that we can ruff a heart loser.
Low road for now, at matchpoints.

2S; poor trumps and poor shape.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:
- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

2S, partner is just an overcaller no reason to bury them. We might buy it here, and if they bid 3H we have a perfect X.

2H.
It may be true that we can describe our hand after 2S if the opponents bid 3H, but I'd rather show what I have immediately. I don't see how 2H buries partner because if he has less than an opening bid he will bid 2S anyway. If he has more then 2H will be helpful.

and the result can be plotted on a graph.

2♥, I don't see how this buries partner since it's lower than his suit. Obv I wouldn't go above 2 of his suit to show a limit raise on this, but when I can show it lower then I think I should.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Nah I am sure Justin read the auction as 1H 1S 2H.

there is a downside to the cue with marginal values. If opener wants to bid his suit again, I want him to have to bid it at the 3-level now. I don't want to have given him the options of pass, double, and 2S --whatever they might mean, and then another opportunity when the auction comes back around.
