Unless double is defined as penalty, 2♠ is a wtp.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

If your 2NT rebid shows extra values, I quite like 2NT here. Trying for the 9 trick vulnerable game.
Otherwise, just 2♠ like everyone else. I don't like 3♠ at all.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

I'd go for the 2S as well, 3S is far too much and 2NT doesn't show extras for me.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
