Scoring: Chicago

1NT-P-P-2♣
P-2♥-P-3♦
P-?


Dealers 1NT=15-17 . 2♣ is Landy showing both majors.3 ♦ shows extras.Would you bid 4?

Yes of course. Partner showed extras, and this has pretty much been the best auction possible for my hand.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

It would help if I know what sort of hand pard balances on. Anyway, I'll bid game, but only because it's vuln.

The key to the hand is the ♣xxxx. You know pard has shortness.

While the finesses are losing, surely game has to be odds-on here, so I bid 4♥.

Clear 4♥ IMO; 4 trumps, useful doubleton and a working king.
Kind regards,

Assuming that 3♥ instead of 3♦ would be invitational rather than blocking, 3♦ should be a very strong invite--the sort of hand where the Landy bidder needs good support and one useful card (if he would have a good play with either, he would likely bid it himself). So your hand is exactly what the doctor ordered--4♥ is automatic.

Even if 3♥ is non-invitational, I would bid 4♥ assuming 3♦ shows a fragment--your ♦K and ♣xxxx are solid gold.

No, the difference between 3D and 3H isn't the strength, it's the pattern. Partner has a 3-suiter with short clubs, could be 5-4-4-0, 4-5-4-0 or 4-4-5-0. 5431's are also possible but less likely I think.
