4♠ showing a minimum hand with long ♠. Any bid on 3 level should be stronger.

Anyone who passes on this is going to be very easy to play against. And anyone who bids 4♠ is suicidal lol.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Ok, if this isn't unanimous, no bidding poll on BBF will ever be.

hotshot, if this is really how you play it (4S weaker than 3S), you should alert your jumps to 4S.

This is very non-standard. Jumps over an enemy preempt should show extra strength. If you have to double with strong one-suiters, you may well have to introduce you suit at the 5-level.

With a weak hand, just pass. You can always sac in the next round if that's what you want.

I voted for 3♠ but I think pass is reasonable. It's quite likely that nobody can make anything.

Actually, this hand brings about some bad memories. At an international tournament, both red, I once held something like

AK98xx
x
Axx
Kxx

pard RHO me LHO
pass 3♦ .. 3♠ . dbl

and now we go -800.

This sort of stuff happened for 10 days in a row at that tournament, which is why I'm pretty sure Directors selected some hands. I mean.. 50% of the hands were misfits and the rest magical fits? gimme a break...
