1C P* P X /
P 1N

* This being partner.

Opposite a direct X I'd expect something like 8-10 for a 1N bid, so on the borrowed King principle this should theoretically be 11-13 (and since P would surely balance on a 4441 8-count, I wouldn't feel happy about jumping to 2N with a hand in that range). But having to limp quietly into your longest side suit with a balanced 10 count (esp one with a decent stop) feels pretty nasty.

Also, P's expected range be different after this auction:

1S P P X /
P 1N

I try to keep

1x pass pass dbl
pass 1/2NT

as 10-12 and 13-14 respectively. Sometimes I prevaricate though.
