If this were matchpoints, we'd have to bid 1♠ on both.

At teams, I'd probably bid with the 1st hand. On the 2nd hand, my feeling says the gains are too small to risk have pard leading from his ♠Kx :P

Do we play power doubles to top all other overcalls? Yes then 2S on both. No, 1S unlimited up, now can I slow this auction down if partner announces big S-fit, or should I even want to?

Does 2S announce defined weak jump overcall, or middling 1-suiter not needing space? Then 2S.

Tell me what agreements to call with. Or can I freely spanner in their auction?

I pass in the first case since i dont want partner to lead a S instead of a H.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
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."
