Double.

Rule of thumb for me is 18 count with a 6 card suit.

So with 18HCP and a 5 card suit, or a 17 count with a 6 card suit I would tend to overcall.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

2♠. It's good to know that when you double a suit for takeout, that is the only suit you can cuebid artificially on the next round. If you bid any other suit at your second turn it's natural, even if the opponents bid it after you doubled.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Even I would double first with this hand. It thus follows that overcalling would be more or less insane! :D

Over (1♠) P (2♥), I'd continue with a natural 2♠. It's possible that LHO has his call.... but I doubt it.

Dbl, 2♠, try not to call partner crazy insulting names when he takes this as "cuebid" (cuebid to what??? 23 balanced with no spade stop?!?!).
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I would imagine that North was a tad bit disappointed by partner's 10 point reverse.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Yeah, but some 10's look really good. :)
