The second one is definitely a 3H bid. The first one is close and could go either way, but I would just bid 3 (I would expect partner to try for slam a little more aggressively than I'd like when I have this hand).

Is the poll correct? Why would you opt for 3♥ on the 1st and 4♥ on the 2nd with the weaker spade holding.

I think it's that close, and with the stronger spade holding, the 1st hand is worth an upgrade.

Is the poll correct? The poll is confusing. Sorry.

p.s. The confusion is not just a typo though. I was totally confused about the meanings of 3H and 4H here. Less confused now though. :)

We don't pre-empt over a pre-empt: bidding 4H is a stronger call than bidding 3H. Bidding 4H says that you expect to make it, and partner can bid on with a suitable hand.
