Don't pass! 2S describes your hand perfectly, you even have extras for it (I would bid 2S if my HJ was an x).

Closer to 3♠ than pass.

Heck, even closer to 4♣ than pass.

As much as I like splinters, it is closer to 4♥ than pass.

disagree. I think 4♣ is even worse than pass. Agree that its closer to 3♠ than to pass though.

2S.

And I am not gambling.

Please keep in mind, that p should not rebid his 5 card spade suit,
and if he is weak, he should not introduce his 4 card spade suit, if he
also has 3 card support for hearts, i.e. at best we have a 7 card heart
fit, and we have at least a 7 card spade fit, and 2S keeps the bidding
open, i.e. 2S wont be a worse than 2H most of the time (5-2 fits are
more robust against 4-2 trump breaks, but your add. strength should
be more than enough compensation) and you may still be able to reach
game.

With kind regards
