Also - do you need to know the nt range?

2♠ will be forcing. You are not strong enough to force to the 3-level.
A negative double followed by 2♠ (if possible) - not forcing will describe your hand.

Double.

The problem with pass is that partner won't reopen on many hands where we should compete. The problem with 2♠ is that is a forcing bid, and our hand isn't good enough to force to the 3-level.

2♠ is not universally forcing.

Whether or not 2♠ is forcing is a matter for partnership agreement. Many players use non-forcing negative free bids in this auction.

If you play negative free bids this hand is a possible 2♠. Double is also possible as the hand is playable in diamonds and hearts if that is what partner rebids over your double.

2S is forcing so I double.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Double, not good enough to bid 2♠ since that is forcing and could get too high very easily. Not far from good enough either though.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Even if 2S is forcing this is a near perfect hand to double
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

Double. Not good enough for a free 2S though close.

Double. Probably a better way on this position is:
2♦=5+♠ constr+
2♠=5+♦ inv+

Double, and pass if partner bids 2♦ or 2♥. How much would 2NT from partner show, btw? I think I would like to play it as 15-16 if we don't systematically open 1NT with a 5-card major.
