Seems a clear pass to me at these colors. I don't like opening 2♠ here lying about my spade length.

i hate passing, this is an OK hand, 2♠ should work out not bad.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Im finding out more and more that pass is a good bid – clear pass for me

As an aside, if you bid spades later, hopefully partner won't consider it a FNJ

This is completely a matter of style.
I bid 2S, the seventh spade making up for the seat and vulnerablity.

I pass.

At matchpoints I don't want to try to outbid them at these colors, and partner will not be in on the joke if I open this trash 2♠. Pass is clearly right.
Bridge is a partnership game. If your partner expects you to preempt with this kind of hand at these colors, well, then more often than not, you will get away with it. If he (or she) expects better preempts ((( ESPECIALLY IN SECOND SEAT WHERE YOU ARE EQUALLY LIKELY TO PREEMPT PARTNER ))) then bidding 2♠ here can be quite deadly.
1) Partner is weakish and bids too much
2) Partner is strongish and bids too much
3) Partner is very strong and bids way too much
Pass this round, think about bidding next round if it looks right.

It brings a warm glow to my heart that there are no votes for 3♠.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I am East and green vs red?
3S, if the partnership allows, else 2S.
With kind regards

X, it is close, but I am not certain that 5S makes,
but 5H will fail most of the time.
I would say it is 50/50 between 5S and X.

It is hard to be objective when I know partner's hand, actually I give up, I can't picture hands when I know they are wrong.
