A lot of this depends on style. Obviously if AQxxxx xx xx Qxx is a 2S opener to you (which it is to most people), you cannot bid imo.

If you are quite sound with your weak 2s then bidding 2S p 4S is reasonable since it might shut LHO out and it will often make.

Are you saying that some poeple might consider AQxxxx xx xx Qxx too weak for a weak two? I realise that one might not do it because of the lack of stuffing in the trump suit, but it sounds as though you think people would reject it because of a lack of overall strength. Or have I misunderstood?

at unfavorable colors and IMPS this is not a hand that should venture 2♠ and IMO if I changed the hand to AQJT98 xx xx Qxx, this would only be tolerable because the opps will have such bad ♠ spots they are unlikely to whack you.
