hmm...so many questions...only one hand

I think system is not on after 1NT balancing, and 2 was a cuebid showing at least an invitational hand. 3 was probably supposed to say where his values were (when they were all spread out he had trouble figuring out which was his best suit). He can't possibly have "twice rebiddable clubs" as that shows a good six card suit usually (correct me if I'm wrong) - this is the wording used if the auction goes for instance (1)(2) 2. 2 will be alerted "twice rebiddable spades, 12+ total points" or something similar.

About Gibs explanations see http://doc.bridgebase.com/lobbynews/gib_descriptions.xhtml - twice rebiddable is indeed 6 card suit. He chose to show his weakest suit, and if he doesnt have a strong suit there are 2NT and 3NT in the box....

Barmar posted the following explanation of the "rebiddable", etc. desciptions:

The categories are:

0-2 cards

3-card

4-card = 4 with poor honors

biddable = 5 cards, or 4 with 4+ HCP or QJTx

rebiddable = biddable + another card

twice rebiddable = rebiddable + another card

strong rebiddable = twice rebiddable with 8+ HCP

solid 6-card = AKQTxx or better

solid 7-card = AKQxxxx or better

solid 8-card = AKJxxxxx or AKxxxxxxx (there are 7 x's)

So yes, "twice rebiddable" is a not-horrible 6-card suit or a horrible 7-card suit.
