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
