so it finally happened, we bid 1-1-2-3-pass with 10 tricks in NT

I am used of playin 2NT weak (forcing 3 to pass or correct) and 2 f1, with 3 level being GF, but I wonder if it is best in a limited to 15 context.

I don't see why you suddenly wouldn't want to play Lebensohl just because you're playing precision. The point is that responder gets both a forcing and a nonforcing 3 bid, and since responder is unlimited in precision just as in standard, it still seems very useful.

I would recommend transfers here even more in a Precision context than Standard. Second choice would be Lebensohl.

When I was still playing Precision, after 1, 1, 1 a jump bid or a reverse bid second time round by opener promised 14-15 HCP, close to a maximum for the limited opening. The idea was to enable partner to better judge the final spot.

There are many 14-15 counts where you really don't want to jump or make a reverse playing Precision. It's best reserved for hands with extra playing strength rather than just a point count description.

If a 1/1 or 1NT response generally promise 8+ HCP, then a reverse could be made with a good 14+, however extra distribution & playing strength would be required for a jump rebid.
