I consider this an easy pass.

Pass is completely obvious and normal.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Would partner X with 3+DT eg. H-A+S-AK? Yup. He didn't. Pass.
6C making is more likely than a big set.

If you think 5♣ (or 6♣) is making, don't you think 5♥ could be a reasonable sacrifice? If I've read the positions correctly, I think we're favorable...

I would bid 5♥. The opponents guessed right with 5♣ and 5♥ can't be too expensive. Plus we have zero defense.

How can passing 5♣ ever be right?

If they decide to bid 6 and make it.
I pass.

I pass.

Or if we go down 4, and why shouldn't we? I pass too.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Unless you are Phil, then it is impossible! I pass.
