3♣ opener on your right, love all imps.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

That's a joke, right?

110% clear pass.

I'm going to put in another vote for 3♥. Partner could easily pass this out in 3c=, when we're cold for game. We have a 7-card major and shortness in clubs.

Yeah sure why not. I seriously doubt this will be terrible if it's the wrong choice.

I think 3♥ is clear. Aces are good. I have about as much defense as partner can expect with a lot of offense for hearts. Partner will check this out when we are easily cold for 4♥.

I would pass, just seems too weak to bid.

Come on you rebels out there, aren't any of you going to say if you pass and partner bids 3♠ and you bid 4♥ it shows a spade fit? Come out of hiding, I know you're out there.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I'd bid 3H. If I pass now and partner bids 3S then I can't show hearts because that would be a support non-jump.

Spoiler

Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

...

Can we negotiate, that we say spade tolerance
instead of spade fit?

For whats it worth, I may or may not bid 3H, I
think the hand is slightly too weak, but this does
not mean that a 3H bid will hit the table.

But if I happen to pass now, I will pass 3S as well.

With kind regards
