IMP

 

West decides to GF opposite a bal 12-14 that has declined an opportunity to support Hearts. In the meantime the defenders have bid and supported a suit, which is unlikely to divide 4-4, where the entries are likely to be with the length, and an informative auction guides the double and lead.

No, East (and North) bid moronically, its a simple pass of 2S doubled- West double has to be slightly penalty orientated since North passed once.

West did not force to game. GIB does not play negative free bids. This would be true if W were not a passed hand, it is certainly true with W being a passed hand.
