And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

2♠ is clear.

If you'd play that NF, then Dbl of course...

2S, if you X with this you will be lost on the next round of bidding when everything you bid is NF.

2♠ why not start showing my suits.

This is a much harder problem if you play negative free bids. As double will not show your extra major length and we don't really have enough to force to game over partner's expected 3♦ rebid.

I like 2♠ so much, I'm madly in love with it. Suited hands are meant to be bid, not described through bids that are confusing.

I had a similar against against me where the opps missed their grand because they doubled with a forcing 2 suiter 5-5 hand instead of bidding out their suits.

Just overbid and force to game so that you can show your suits.

I'll bid my spades now of course.
So 2♥ transfer with my regular partner, 2♠ with anyone else.
Kind regards,
