If this doesn't qualify as a weak 2 you should play strong 2's as they will come up more frequently.

Pass. 2nd seat V, you should have two of the top 3 honors or a feature with KJT.

It doesn't mean you should play strong 2's. Your range is practically more defined in second seat after a pass.

I would always open 2♠, but the hand is worse than I would like. I certainly wouldn't say that opening 2♠ is clear.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

2♠ was pretty obvious imo. Passing gives you awquard choices later on, like here suggesting a sacrifice in ♠ or ♦. Imo if you passed first, then pass again now.

Pass vs 2♠ initially is marginal in my book. If I pass first I definitely bid 4♠ on the next round.

If you pass first surely you have to pass now; partner could have nothing in spades and vul vs non-vul sacs dont appeal to me, especially on the 5 lvl.
