I think this is a recurring theme, but my 2NT should deny four spades, and 3 should show exactly three.

Out of curiosity: could any of my possible responses over 5 have led to a final contract other than 6?

Responder should be assuming this is a slam if a fit is found.

Have two complaints with GIBs bidding

1) I hate it when the weak hand takes over and starts Keycarding. I was taught as a beginner not to do this unless big hand limits itself with a NT bid.

2) Gib doesn't bid its longest suit first, bidding a empty 5-card suit rather than a 6-card suit with an honor. 6 might make in a 6-2 fit but 6 wont be hot in a 5-2 fit and you'll never find a 6-2 fit if you don't bid them first.

7N is the contract, making if either or breaks 3-2 85% I think
Sarcasm is a state of mind
