I would always preempt either 2♥ or 3♥. It looks much more likely we belong in hearts than spades, and I don't have much defense, so I want to bid to the limit and give them a problem.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I dont like 3H when I have 4 spades, not cuz I'm worried about missing spades but it makes it more likely they don't make anything (and I've noticed if they happen to get to 4S, partner is likely to misjudge and bid 5H some of the time since he has short spades obv and hopes to push them to 5S. A good example would be like, LHO bids 3S and partner bids 5H to pressure them).

I would like 3H a lot with 6-4 with 4 of the other minor and a stiff spade, I'd probably always do that.
