I wouldn't consider any bid but 2♠ or 3♠. This hand is not strong enough to force game opposite what may not be a fit. While the 7th spade points towards 3♠, every other feature of this hand is negative. We have a bad heart holding, bad spade spots, a singleton king, and only 13 high. I would bid 3♠ on a hand like:
AQT9xxx
x
Kx
Axx
But on the given hand I think 2♠ is a much better call.

Obvious 3♠ bid. To bid 2♠ is to complicate what is simple.

At MP do you want to play in 2s or 3s or 4s across from:
xx...xxx....AJTx....KTxx
with more Partner can raise to 3S after 2S.

I think 4♠ is clear I have a huge hand now, the heart singleton and the values in the minors have been upgraded in my mind.

3S first choice, 4S second choice. It would be closer at IMPs.
I assume pd has a reasonable hand for his double of 2H.
2S bidders - what is the worst hand you think pd could have?
Might your pd double on a quacky 8 count and a stiff spade?

3 ♠ seems right at MPs, at IMPs I would likely bid 4♠.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I like 3 at any form of scoring. 4 just takes partner out of the evaluation game and 2 is too pessimistic with 7 spades and AQ A K(albeit stiff).
This is amusing becuase I once said about MSC that when the panel votes for both non forcing bids and game bids, an invitational bid is probably right. Here we have adam (2S) and luis (4S), thus I'll try 3 as a combination of their wisdom

4S is my first choice. 3S is my second choice.
Considering some of the hands on which I would bid 2S, this hand is about 2 tricks stronger. That is why 2S cannot be the right choice.

3s first choice, 4s 2nd, 2s never.
in my book partner can bid 2s with only 2 so partner can easily have a stiff spade.
On a side note wich bid tend to show more strenght ? (trump support + cover card = strenght)
X or 2♠
2s can be pretty weak with 3 trumps.
X can be stiff ♠ but show sound values.

For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

2♠ is horribly pessimistic.
4♠ is likely the contract I will have to play; I'll bid 3♠ not to hang partner.
