I pass, if I bid 4♠ the opponents are gonna bid 5♥, but partner will then bid 5♠ wich I don't like.
So let partner bid 4♠ and when the opponents bid 5♥ hopefully this can be passed out or doubled by partner.

You've got it all figured out, uh?
Well, I'm not even sure our side should bid anymore at all 
So I pass.

We have a minimum, four small trumps, QJ doubleton in their suit, and a singleton in partner's suit. Meanwhile since his bid was made under pressure it doesn't show more than a nice minimum, definitely less than jumping to 3♠ normally would.
In short, if bidding here is right then I'm really missing the boat.

Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Pass looks pretty obvious. One explanation for LHO's pass-followed-by-3H is that he has 4-6 in the majors, in which case we ain't going to enjoy playing 4S.

I've really got a problem understanding how anyone can do anything but pass with this sorry collection. So I'd like to see those doing something else post their reasoning.
Kind regards,
