Obviously you could have avoided this by bidding 3C. You should know that takeout doubles are uncommon so GIB is not prepared for them.

The explanation is -9 pts talk about gross underbid. Playing Lebenoshl has easy 3S bid.Slam is possible from Gib's point of views.

Usually GIB's problem is cuebidding with marginal values. I will admit to being surprised here, that with full values for a cuebid, it can't even find a jump raise.

 

I did not learn Lebensohl the way Steve describes it, with a jump advance being a game force. But, I don't seem to still have the Mike Lawrence pamphlet on Lebensohl that I learned from many years ago, and BridgeBum agrees with you, so perhaps that's now the more common treatment.

Yes cue better 3S should be 5 cards.
