Skol, what are you talking about? Presumably partner is allowed to look at her hand?
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I've had mostly success with preempting 4m whenever I have 11 minor cards which aren't of ridiculously poor quality. This falls in that camp, so I'm a 4♣ bidder. I'll probably stop doing this when I go for 1400 at some point.

I would bid 4♣. I love to preempt with shortness in both majors (the odds that opponents have a major suit game are pretty good, which adds safety). I admit this is on the sick side of 4♣, though.

I like 4♣, they are just so likely to go to either major over that. I will only end up in 5 opposite support, which is when I lose the dangerous aspect of 4♣, that being the bad suit.

LOL I see I voted for 3♣ earlier. Terrorists hacked my login :) I would seriously bid 4♣.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

4C , 3C , 2C , 5C , pass

Not worried about 3NT so 4C seems perfect. Anyway usually play 3C is a 2 suiter so choice is 4C or PAss. 5C could work but is a bit too rich (even) for me
