2♠. It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.

X, followed by bidding spades.

Thats the way how you bid a non forcing 1-suiter,
if you decided to play that a new suit at the 2-level
is forcing.

I agree that bidding 2♠ is a dirty job. But you're wrong when you say someone's gotta do it. B)

A negative double is better by far IMO, as 2♠ clearly overstates your values (unless you play it as NF).

The worst thing that might happen (not often) after a X is partner jumping to 4♥. He'll be unbalanced then though, and you can revert to 5♦.
Kind regards,
Harald
