Your opening statement mentioned GIB double-dummy. Of course, that can also be double dummy to the defense. If opening leader plays KD, AD, KH, there is no way for you to make 4H.

I was just going into the Free Just Declare Daylong (which does all the bidding and just makes me declarer). But when I saw the cards, many of them were invisible. Dummy has 5 invisible cards, my hand has 3. Instead I see a small [X] on the upper left corner of what the card should be. It seems that I can actually play these invisible cards, but it's a little difficult. Opening lead was 5D, I played an invisible low D (I knew it was that because it was to the left of the AC), and RHO played the 3. I'm guessing my dummy card is the 4 or 2, and I can win with the A, Q, J of D or maybe the invisible card to the right of the J. I've tried exiting and reentering the hand, but the same cards are invisible. Anyone else encounter this 'feature'?

"partner bid of opp suit" (1D) 2NT -- 3D (what is your major?) -- 3H/3S not at the 4 level Of course, I assume that when you make that cue bid, you have no desire to defend it (3- in their suit), no desire to play my minor (3- in that), so you've got 7+ cards in the majors. If you don't have 3 in my suit either, then you either have a balanced hand or a longish major suit of your own.

In my regular partnership, we overcall 2-suited hands this way: Michaels -- implies majors -- over a minor, shows both majors -- over a major, shows other major and unspecified minor partner bid of 2 NT asks for the minor Unusual NT -- implies minors -- over a major, shows both minors -- over a minor, shows other minor and unspecified major partner bid of opp suit asks for the major So in all cases, we can show both of our suits no later than the 3 level (unless opps bid more)

Of course, when I bid 5D with that assumption, opening leader leads from short spades to partner, holding JTxx of trump.

Of course, when I bid 5D with that assumption, opening leader leads from short spades to partner, holding JTxx of trump.

With my luck, when I bid 5D with in that scenario, opening leader leads from short spades holding JTxx of Diamonds.

I am one of those people who recently replied 'no partnership agreement'. After 1S - 1 NT, I rebid 2C and was asked what I meant. But it wasn't clear to me who was asking, and I didn't want to give my partner UI. All the Automated games I play announce "you agree to play 2/1", but that doesn't always indicate what a 1 NT response means. Some play 6-9 balanced, some play semi-forcing. I can never know which my partner intends, so I bid a 3-card suit assuming the latter. Unfortunately, I ended up playing a 3-3 club fit.
