I would bid 3♠ if that is highly invitational. If it is preemptive, then I would bid 4.

4♠, there's a bonus for game, ain't it?

3♠ should not be preemptive and that is my call too.

4 is just too much.

2S or 3S.

Most likely I would go with 3S.

3♠ seems to be the right bid, but for some reason I think I should bid 4, so I'll do that.

LOL.
Do you realize it's the same bid you would make with KQxxx xxxx xx xx ?

I tend to agree. We always want to be in game opposite 4♠ but partner will probably accept with any hand with 4♠ anyway.
I don't mind 4♠. I think it's close.

No, no, no... When I bid 2♠, it was over a pass by RHO... over 2♣, it's 3♠.

I was going to bid 4♠ based on the playing strength, even with the heart length on my left, but the 2♣ bid on my right in my doubleton has turned me off. 3♠ then.

2♠ (by anyone who meant it and knew the auction)? lol?

except for the duplication of the A♠, I thought this was the other side of your hand from the other thread: http://forums.bridge...showtopic=39934
