I can't tell if we're supposed to make note of extremely egregious GIB bidding mistakes or not. If we're not, let me know. Anyway, here's your hand:

 

763 J86 98753 73

 

Pard opens 2 and RHO bids 3 and you pass and pard backs in with 3 and you bid ...

 

4????????????

 

I cuebid on what?

You shouldnt be upset, because anyone who has played with GIB a lot knows that GIB is at most 1-2 jacks short its usual cue-bid strength and it is not even forcing you to the 5th level. It is important to know that GIB will always cue-bid with absolute rubbish, if you show a hand with 25+ points, which can happen quite often when both sides bid vigorously. If GIB had something useful it would not bother to cue-bid, but simply jump to the slam.
