If you agree on a major suit GIB always pulls 6NT. That's just an unfortunate fact.

I've now twice had this auction 1D 1M 2N 3C PASS?? Apparently GIB doesn't know new minor FORCING

The GIBs don't have any idea how to play inverted minors properly. 1: They often times do it 4333 with stoppers in every suit and a straight out of the book 3NT response. 2: They play you must have extras to bid either 2NT or a new suit. So what am I suppose to bid with a minimum and xxx in clubs when it will bid inverted with xxxx of trump? 3: They play 3m by responder the 2nd round is forcing. That makes no sense. What am I suppose to bid the 2nd round with xx Kx Kx KQxxxx over 1C 2C 2H? 4: If they have an inverted hand with anything extra they will almost always force to slam, even off 2 aces. 5: Sometimes they even try to tell me when I bid new suits as responder I actually have them. If I had them... why wasn't I bidding them before? 6: Sometimes it will jump to 3m with 5 bad trump instead of responding 1NT 7: Seriously... stop giving me limit raises in clubs with only 4... I'm tired of playing 4-3 fits at the 3 level when the rest of the world is in 1/2NT Mr. GIB. Please either fix these problems or just remove Inv. Minors from their card, because they haven't the slightest clue how to play it.

Here was the auction, i am in 4th seat, GIB is in 2nd seat 1C P 1H P 2H P 4H X I of course have 5 good hearts to go with my 2 outside kings. GIB alerts my double as takeout with 18-20 points and bids 4S. Of course its completely impossible for this to be any kind of takeout if i can't even bid at the 1 level, why would he think I'm now forcing him to the 4 or 5 level after they confidently bid game? Why would he ever think I have 18+ points and passed at the 1 level orginally? The only scenario this makes sense is with a big balanced hand and cards in their suits could I have 18 points, even then the double would still be penalty.
