I'll bid a gambling 3♦ and let partner bid the gambling 3NT.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

3♦ which will get PD to right side 3NT if he has a decent hand and which can also get him to bid a 5 card ♥ suit, noting mine are weak and if his are weak also we will suffer doubled vs a 4-1 split.

3♦

3♦. There's no problem here - pard should try to bid 3N whenever possible.

3D is normal. Its hard to think of anything else. 3NT if playing non serious bridge in a club game maybe.

Would you believe X (P) you guessed it 4♠ (P) P

lho let them off the hook by doubling 4♠ , 5♦ made.

I would bid 3D as well, but double is the only other call that crossed my mind. So I believe you, but I think double with the doubleton spade is bad. If you do double and partner jumps to 4S, please pass.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
