Would you consider this hand good enough to UCB in response to a debased second-seat one-level overcall?

Yes, though I realise that this is a bit inconsistent.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I expect that what we might last week have considered to be inconsistency, this week we see as the superior judgement of a Gold Cup winner :)

I think that second-seat overcalls have been so debased that there's no difference between a second-seat overcall and a fourth-seat overcall, certainly at the one-level. Hence I've stopped lending and borrowing kings.

I agree.
Having kings is a luxury when it comes to one-level overcalls. :)

And having somewhere near t/o distribution has become a luxury when it comes to t/o doubles, so probably the borrowing concept should be dead in today's "balance" theory.

Why? It just means you are rejecting partners game overtures more frequently. Regardless of overcalling styles its important to differentiate between a simple raise and a limit raise.

Now if you choose to start debasing cue bids... :)
