The easiest way to count losers is to line up the people who talk about loser count, and count them. -Kieran Dyke

Not to be picky, but the title should be WWGIBD (I would have also accepted WWGD, though GIB is an acronym).
I bet GIB bids 3♣ and then passes the rest of the auction.

It's WWGB, not WSGB, right?

Double.
I had a similar auction where GIB had 8 card support and made a negative double and then supported clubs twice up to the 5 level. We ended up defending and I thought it was more than a little funny when I gave a ruff/sluff on opening lead.

With 12 total points, I'd expect a limit raise sequence from GIB.

What does "12 Total points" mean?
milton count A=4, K=3, Q=2, J=1, + points for shortages except in trumps (void = 3, singleton = 2, doubleton =1, but not doublecounting shortage points with milton points for high cards in short suits)
