This made me chuckle.
A year or so back, GIB East would have overcalled 2S to show Spades and a minor.
I applaud its decision to treat this as a single suiter, despite that 2S works better on this occasion (provided West can restrain himself from bidding 4S). not that competing at all rates to gain a whole heap.
Now, if only we could educate West ...

I'll pose this as a debate subject: RESOLVED - the biggest problem with GIB's bidding is that it allows bids at higher levels with insufficient length. So often the descriptions say "4+" when even 5 is very questionable, should be 6.
Pro or Con?

How about debating whether West should open in second seat?

Another GIB SNAFU. This is a too frequent recurring theme that GIB with shortness in partner's long suit, runs to another suit (sometimes/frequently with only 4 cards) when there is no expectation that there will be a reasonable fit found by running.

Given GIB's play quality in defence- 4S is probably an easy make. The problem is that 3H is defined as having 4 hearts so as it has that therefore it bids it. 3NT would probably make too.

What exactly is your point BBradley? I don't know what FMP means.
