MP, Instant.

Amusing though some aspects of the hand may be, the point of the post is that I moused over the meaning of redouble before choosing that option, and the description provided was

"2-5 C; 2-5 D; 2-5 H; 2-5 S; 15+ HCP; 18- total points; stop in D"

This description is identical to that ascribed to the 1N overcall. I think that the redouble should somehow restrict the definition.

I like explanation of W Gib's 4♥: 6+♥ 13+ total points. If it had that hand it might have a chance of making.

And all of E Gib's bids doesn't show any extra values either? weird.

Ha ha - at least he didn't have any of the extra values that he didn't promise
