My 3NT isn't to everyone's taste, and it does play into this. North may have had a tricky time trying to simulate this with there apparently being 15+ hearts in the deck, but you'd think it would do something other than pass when we supposedly have 30-36 HCP combined.

And similar to my last thread, why does 3NT promise a balanced hand here?

Gib may not have been able to run a simulation and defaulted to pass.
Surely you promise a heart stop even though it doesn't say.

I think the problem is that bids over 3NT have no definition, so it can't choose a bid that doesn't mean anything.

Alternatively, it may have been confused that there are so many hearts in this deck.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
