Gee, another hand where Flannery (oops) comes to the rescue. With no qualms (Another word for Han's growing lexicon perhaps?) about missing the 4-4 spade fit, I love my 7 loser hand with AJx of trumps for pard. 2D it is.

2♦ I would say 1♠ is criminal unless pd knows you bid your xxxx suits before your AQxxx suits.

Well opposite an normal opening bid I would game force with 2D. Opposite one of my limited opening bids 1N (or 1S showing a forcing NT). There is no way I would ever bid spades:
a. if partner raises spades I am poorly placed (I play that 1H-1S-2S-3H is forcing, since if I had an invite and a double fit it should be enough for game)
b. my bidding spades hurts partner's hand evaluation - spade shortness in his hand is good, not bad

Playing fairly medium opening bids I'd bid 2D and I think this is obvious.

Playing with Ben (who opens quite light) I would bid 2D and I still think that this is obvious.

Playing with mike777 I would first ask if it is a super-light day or a super-sound day.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

It's always a Super Day if you are my partner Han!
