Given I play Lebensohl here with most of my regular partners, the answer for me would be only with the last hand with two Aces. All the rest would go through 2NT for me.

Thanks Matt.
II think bidding lebensohl with x Axxxx xxx Kxxx is not right though.
For the purpose of this poll it would be useful to assume that you don't play lebensohl.

I voted for K/A, though I might do it with K/K. It depends on fillers and such. Also, do the opponents play one-under?

Ah. Apologies. I missed the point of the poll. I think the way it's posted (without Leb) is much harder.

I think Qxxxx Kxxx too. And I might be more likely to bid with Kxxxx Jxxx than Qxxxx Qxxx, although I'm not sure and would pass both in any case.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

LOL this is what I voted for.
I don't see a whole lot of difference between Kxxxx / Qxxx and Qxxxx / Kxxx by the way.
I'm a big believer in 'boxing' our hand with a pass when its right and not to bid pard's hand for him.

I think this is an interesting auction for us having a stiff spade. It seems likely that LHO has 7+ spades or partner has 3+, which for me at least, means he is likely to have a big hand. So it seems rather likely the auction is going to proceed in one of two ways: either 4 spades on my left, or pass then 3NT/3S/4H from partner. If it is the first auction, I want to have bid to help with the lead/saccing decision, but if it is the first, I may wish I had kept my mouth shut with the weaker hands. Anyways, I voted for QQ, but would also probably bid on x KTxxx xxx xxxx.
