I admit I would have doubled. If partner jumps to 4♠, I hope he has 5 (with 4 he might bid 4H, choice of games).

What's your plan over 3S Arend?
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Round 1: pass. Sometimes preempts work.

Round 2: X for penalties and hope it works.

What's your plan over 3S Arend?

And what is your plan when pard bids 4♠ over 4♥.

Double could work, but for these reasons I detest it.

If partner bids 3♠ you have an easy pass, you can always run later if they double and even if he has 4 you will often make on power. I don't even mind this happening to be honest, we probably got to our best contract if he is fairly weak with 5 spades.

If it goes (4♥) and partner bids 4♠ he is much less likely to have four spades than before since he is short in hearts. If he has four spades anyway, yeah thats the disaster scenario.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Arghh, actually I mentioned what I would do over 3♠ and deleted it again, because I didn't like it :D
I would probably bid 4♣ over 3♠, of course that shows a different hand but it could still get us to the right game. Of course it can go wrong.

I am not worried about partner bidding 4♠ over 4♥, I am sure he has ♠AQJT ♥xx ♦xxxx ♣Qxx, the ♦K is off-side, and 4♠ is the only making game :P

Scoring: IMP

3♥ on your right.

Hidden text, for once you've decided your call - If you pass,
Spoiler

IMO X = 10, 4 ♥ (minors) = 8, P = 7. 3 N = 5, 4 ♣ (if natural) = 4.
Here you should agree 4 ♣ = black suits, 4 ♦ = pointy suits, which luckily stops you from making a bad bid :)
