First of all, GIB should adjust his ranges when there is a passed-hand double. In fact, there is no need for Leb or no Leb or anything here. 2, 2, 2NT, 3 should all be natural and they should be done on 99% of hands. If you passed on a 55 majors 10 count, fine, bid 3 over my double. Special hands with a major might want to bid 3M or 4M.

 

Second, what on Earth is this 2NT then 3 sequence? A cuebid for "my clubs" ??

 

Third, please don't complain about my bidding. It's really not the point. This should be a double that exists.

Gib did adjust range for double shows as 11 hcp 12 tp. as opposed to unlimited. Perhaps lower values should be included too.

Yes, Lebensohl makes no sense at this point.

Sorry, I meant that N should adjust *his* ranges. I mean (ignoring Lebensohl), say the ladder for 2H/3H/4H was 0-7/8-11/12+ total points, have them now be:

 

0-11/12-13/14+.

 

In fact, all (100%) of hands with a 4-card major should just bid it on the 2-level at this point. OK maybe you can do something else with a 4009.

I don't know if it's because of this thread or not, but this came up for discussion recently. In the next version I believe they are making 2N natural opposite a passed hand takeout double.

Will N also find a 2S bid, despite the fact that he's nominally maximum for his range?
