Actually I learned it as we ask for stoppers and I have never encountered anyone showing stoppers when the opponents have one suit only.

Here 5D is better but in most of the situations like this, GIB doesn't bid 3N and it is the best contact. I posted this hand because I had this hand avaliable at the time.

That is also a very important problem.

What you both say is true but I believe, the more important problem here is the 6N bid instead of 6S.

a pair played in 3H and made it exactly if it has any importance.

GIB doesn't know this and puts us in a terrible position. Now if I bid 3C, it says it is 17-18 points.

http://tinyurl.com/cj9fyjb is it too much to ask gib to be able to pass this 3nt?
