Though I do not expect a unanimous poll, I'd be surprised if the option partner chose at the table wins

2♣ and then some strong action later.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

2♣ Michaels.
Double:
It would be nice if partner shows you a major suit but he will most likely bid diamonds of NT and how do you show your suits then?
1♠
Partner can very well have a normal pass while 4♥ makes.
How about xx Qxx Qxxx Jxxx or even xx Qxx Axxx Jxxx, probably making 6?

1S and 4H later. If 1S got passed out, I will consider myself very unlucky.

Michaels followed by an action that assures that we get to game.

2C followed by 3S over 2H and 4C over 2S.
Used to insist on 1S with this pattern but then I started playing with partners who could interpret follow up actions and properly evaluate their heart holdings.

Partner held this hand. After the board, I suggested to partner that he should have made the Michaels' cue bid -- I thought it was automatic
I'd probably not object too much with the other choice of 1♠ followed by some hearts at the next turn. Instead partner chose the action with zero votes so far (Dbl)
When I posted this, I was expecting 3/4th of the vote to go to Michaels and perhaps 1/4th to the 1♠ bid. The actual vote so far is 22 of 24 for Michaels and the remaining 2 for 1♠ bid.

Michaels, no 2nd alternative.
And it would be brilliant, if the cue showes both majors at once,
but that is not necessary.
With kind regards

Hi,
My main issue with 1S is, that 1S may get passed out, not a big
risk, but why take it?

Partner deals and passes. East bids 1♣. And you?
Note: Opps play ACOL so 1♣ promises 4+ cards and bidder cannot hold a 12-14 balanced.
