Our hands that are in the 15-17 range are opened 1C.

So our 1S opening is unbalanced and 12-14 or 18-22.

You have 3H and 3S available for 2 preempt range. What range do you suggest ?

3S = 5-9 with 4 trumps (or 5 if no ruffing power)
3H = 0-4 with 4 trumps (or 5 if no ruffing power)

The idea here is that

over 3S partner bid 4S with any 18-22 and pass with all 12-14 facing
over 3H partner bid 4S with 20-22 and pass with 18-19

or

3S = 3-7 with a shortness
3H = 5-9 with defensive values

The idea is that if partner is 12-14 he can easily take a save at 4S.
If hes 18-22 he always bid 4S.

Or something else ?

I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

In general I believe from a useful space and preemptive standpoint that the higher the raise, the more preemptive it should be. A sensible adjustment to Bergen is:

3M = weak
3M-1 = mixed
3M-2 = limit
something else = GF
