3NT. Ugly, as it would be if we had rebid 2♥ also (maybe even uglier then as we will never figure out 3NT is bad if partner has a singleton heart for example.)
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

If partner can bid 2NT as a weak call after 2♥, such that 2♥ can be slightly weaker than otherwise, I kind of like 2♥.
Why can 2♥ be weaker if 2NT is a weak call over it? If 2NT isn't weak then something else is anyway.

If Responder can bid 2NT with a weak hand, then we can get out at 3♥ or 3♦ easily. If Responder cannot bid 2NT with a weak hand, then I think (maybe I'm wrong) that you cannot stop below 4♦. Unless I misunderstand, I think that this means that you need values to play at the four-level opposite a yarb to bid 2♥ without Leb/Ing but values to play at the three-level opposite a yarb if Leb/Ing is available.
I suppose that you could play that 1♦-P-1♠-P-2♥-P-3♥ and 1♦-P-1♠-P-2♥-P-3♦ are both passable, but it has been so long since I doid not play Leb/Ing that I cannot remember. LOL

I prefer to bid hearts preempting the oppoennts from leading it than having a chance to find out we don't stop it.
I don't claim it being right nor better, but the reason I like it is that you often don't have alternative contract, and sometimes the hearts just split 4-3 or 3-3.
