just make a neg X, your hand is not that bad if partner goes crazy in a minor.

Double, I haven't even taken a call yet so I'm not just going to try defending without showing anything.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Fairly common problem. Don't let the 5 hearts to the K steer you away from the obvious call. Double showing 4 spades (or whatever bid shows 4 spades in your system).

wow this one was unanimous poll untill I voted, for pass.
at the table I hesitated a lot before deciding, but I went for the pass, I knew tehre would be complications if partner had to reopen with doubleton, but I was willing to face them
What actually happened is that LHO bid 1NT, wich run to me and I doubled.
Declarer played awfully bad ducking both singleton queens and was about to go for -800, but I made a gross mistake afraid of an impossible lay out that could lead to -200, so I blocked spades and only collected -500.
It was a cold top, but partner started to yell, and keeped doing so untill I losed my concentration, I unblocked enemy's suit on the next board thanks to that to colelct a cold bottom, thank you partner.
