Ugh, why not just bid 4? And then I bid hearts which I thought was just the obvious thing to bid with my hand, and then it passed even though it had none. Idk how it could have expected me to think it would have that kind of hand with how it bid.

Edit: It's advanced GIB and IMPs.

Double is kind-of reasonable, since you might bid 4C with a much weaker hand (e.g. 8 2 KQ10542 AQJ72). But on the third round pulling to 5C is clear.

Also, how about 1S by East rather than 2S? The hand is far too good for 2S even at this vul.

On its 3rd round, I don't think it can go to 5. It's probably like a cuebid for hearts showing 29+ total points or something like that. If 4 on its previous bid shows to weak of a hand, it could still consider just going to 5 then and that'd still have been better than what it did.
