passed in first seat (I approve) and then bid 3 over my takeout double of 2. This was alerted as 4+ and 10-12 points. It was a happy ending: LHO GIB balanced with 3 and now partner GIB bid 4 (making), alerted as 4+, 5+, 11- HCP and 12 total points.

Another.

 

GIB held T Q52 KJT43 K842

 

This time after 2-DBL, GIB bid 3 and then pulled 3N to 4.

 

To be fair to GIB, I was a passed hand so GIB may well have been confused by the DBL followed by 3N (a direct 2N would have been unusual, so the mouseover told me).
