If the question is "What do you think it is?", I still think the response should be Gerber.

If the question is "How should you play it?", I think a self-splinter is better,

 

For those who say that hand does not Exist. (Keylime is close to what I am saying)

What do you open? Probably 1S. If partner can respond, you have the following.

 

With no Aces, chance for game.

With one Ace, game is probable.

With two Aces, I want to be in slam if partner has either 2 spades or the Queen of spades.

With three Aces, I want to be in slam.

 

However, I can't think of a 2nd type hand where this would help.

Auto splinter is expert standard, and probably barely (just because many don't know the sequence). I would expect maybe 1 % of the tournament bridge population to play it that way though. Lets call it forum poster standard?

 

Also as an aside if you play strong club then this is like 66.
