Normal false preference auction? Or does this tend to show better hearts?

Poll: My call is (24 member(s) have cast votes)

My call is

  1. 3 Spades (I'd always do this if 2-2 in majors here) (19 votes [79.17%])

    Percentage of vote: 79.17%

  2. 3 Spades (my T9 looks better than my 52) (5 votes [20.83%])

    Percentage of vote: 20.83%

  3. Pass (I expect pard's hearts to usually be better than his spades) (0 votes [0.00%])

    Percentage of vote: 0.00%

Here's a simple one that may not be all that interesting:

Favorable, IMPs, 4th seat

♠T9 ♥52 ♦AQ87652 ♣J7

P - 1♠ - 2♣ - P
P - 2♥ - 3♣ - 3♦
P - 3♥ - P - ?

3S, partner could easily be 6-5. This isn't a false preference it's a real preference..

at a minimum or even possibly 66 to be bidding over 3♦

3S. But I would have had to take this pref at a higher level than three. Partner would probably have bid 4H, not 3 after my neg double :D

Hmmm, looks to be unanimous.

What does 2♥ show here in your 2/1 methods? Can it be 5=4=2=2 min? Can it be 5=4=1=3 min? Does it promise/deny extras?

I thought 2♥ strongly suggested a 5-bagger with a minimum hand. I thought 3♦ strongly suggested a suit that could play opposite a singleton. I felt reluctant to overrule partner who had already shown a 5th ♥, who had heard my complete lack of interest in playing in a major, and who had declined to play in my 'play opposite singleton' suit. Guess I over/under-thought the hand.
