Is 5♦ actually better than 5♣ ?
5♣ looks good unless W is 6142 or similar.
Did 3♣ show 5 initially ?
I suspect the auction would finish
... 3♦
4♦-5♣
P or 5♦

If I had reached 5 Diamond, I had played 3 rounds of heart pitching a club if rho follows.

I would get to 3♥, unless the opponents help me.
If I would play the hand in 5♦ on a spade lead I would ruff, play ♥AKx and discard a spade. How am I doing so far?

I want my opponents to leave my table with a smile on their face and without matchpoints on their score card - in that order.

lol wtf how is south not the most auto pass of 3C ever? I think north could double 2S rather than bid 3C pretty reasonably even playing good/bad

Though I basically agree with the "Quit bidding" part of Justin's post, I think that at MPs, a false preference to 3♥ is more or less automatic. (It is not encouraging in any way, since it basically denies a fit.)

Lol I thought this was so obvious but I didn't post since I thought I must be insane. Glad to see I'm not. South has an auto pass of 3♣.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Can't insane people still make a right decision?

I would pass 3C but I think 3H is a fair gamble at MP. They bid 3D wich IMO make no sense at all. I assume they play it forcing but how could that be forcing ? At 5D playing 3 round of H is better than ducking or playing on clubs. H were 5-1 and clubs 3-2. So they make 5D. At least 5C was making.
