So all the bots want to show more shape than they actually have.

dbl by west ??

2H by north, when opps seem about to rescue you from misfit??

2S by East??

My 3H is marginal, but I thought North has 6 for sure, plus the range is described as 8-12 which seems strong and wide?? Luckily still a make.

Also the ranges for 2H and 3H at North's 2nd turn are weird; 3H is GF? While without dbl 3H is invitational only. Seems like 3H should still be invite, and 2H weaker range??

This is GIB Standard to rescue partner when holding a singleton in partner's suit. On this hand, GIB even had a 5 card suit!

 

There are two cases which GUBBO interprets as a clarion call to action:

1. stiff even if in partner's suit

2. Length/values in opponent's suit

 

Here the stiff club prompts 2H.

Lefty GUBBO has KQT in clubs thus values and marginal length. Would prefer 4+ cards in clubs.

Righty GUBBO has 3S but compensating HCP hence.....

 

And you reached the optimal 3H LOL.
