... 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

2♠ too.
In my perverse way of thinking, having a rotten suit is OK in this position, since I can finesse LHO's honors. This assumes I catch a fit, but why shouldn't this be the case?

2♠, don't see an alternative here, Double grossly misdescribes the hand and pass is a huge underbid.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

Double. I'll go with the gross misdescription. Good problem though.

I'm torn between pass and double, 2♠ only if partner is a gozilla

2NT, but I'm weird at times.

You are not alone ! I would probably pass but if i did bid, that would be 2NT.

Is this suit + hand good enough to double then 3S?
I cannot believe Doublers intend not to show 5xS
after 3C nor do they intend to pass 3C.
This 3S is wa-a-y overbid.
**2S and let partner show.

2S. I also would like to have a better suit but 4S is still the most likely game and our hand is quite strong. I think that double will too often lead to a silly contract, passing will too often lead to missing cold games (not to mention losing partscore battles) and 2NT is way way too much.
If LHO doubles I will probably not be very happy, but still there would be no guarantee that we'd be in better shape after a double or 2NT call.

Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

2♠, seems normal. Don't like double, but it could work.
Hard to decide which of pass and 2NT I hate the most, for different reasons, but I didn't think that either would get any votes at all until I read the replies.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

2♠ : I've got 5 of them and decent values.
