There are many players will tell us if we dont have lebenshol in our cc then our bridge is incomplete. to me stolen bid with systems on almost do the trick. i know lebenshol against oppos interferense is complex and difficult to use. But i dont understand wht not learn lebenshol and wk2 and reverse. only 1 command.
ur rho bid 2s wk, i dbled take out lho pass you bid 2nt with less the 9 points any other hand bid your suit. now partner will relay to 3c for additional info, dont have
to gess or wount be at mercy of the opps.
same with reverse pd reverse u look at your hand u want to tell pd is there a slam possibility. if not u bid2nt pd relays to 3c giving you time to describe more. by the way expert players like ingrman, wolf and others have little modified version the above practice.

Lebensohl is only useful after 2, 2 and 2. When opps intervene with 2, there's no real use in playing lebensohl, so stolen bid works out just fine. After any 2-level overcall, you can't use stolen bid anymore (for example, if they bid 2, you have 2 bids stolen but only 1 kind of Double). In that case, lebensohl is very useful.

Btw, Lebensohl is very easy and not complex at all imo...

Leb is ok, but Rubensohl is like leb on steroids.

If you discuss stolen bid among serious players, you will be laughed at.

The only "stolen bid" that I play is a double of a 2 overcall of our 1NT openings is Stayman unless 2 shows the majors.

Free, your interpretation of over 3b lebenshol kind of wrong. if somebody interfear at 3 level there are more option available, as directly 3 bid by u is considered forcing. a 2nt relay to clubs followed ny 3 bid is invitationalm. a 2nt followed by jump to 3nt shows stopper in there suit adirect jump to 3nt donot promise stopper in their suit, and many more gn and good luck
