I would lead 2/4.

Wait, wrong thread.

I would not open 3♣, but I don't feel strongly between 1♣ (Good 6 card suit, good shape, 10HCP) and Pass (No defense at all). I admit I would likely open 1♣ at the table.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Pass.

Really hate 1C. This hand can bid later safely and bidding now will cause partner to misjudge a subsequent competitive auction. Bidding 1C is anti-preemptive -- it makes it easier for LHO to find a call. Opening 1C will make it hard to know if partner has 4 or 5 H, which affects the strain I want to play.

Pass. My partners like to bid 2NT or 3NT when I bid one of a minor, and this is not my idea of a 2nd seat preempt - it plays well in 3 suits. 3rd seat I'm bidding 3 clubs.

I have a trick source? I can rebid 3♣ over 2NT, jamming them out of a 10-card spade fit?

Pass but wouldn't object to 1♣. Playing Precision I open 2♣.

1♣, this is an opening and I don't have rebid problems...

Easy pass for me. Not even close. I like open thin but marginal hands with too few controls always pass. Now we have short spades also.

This hand bears no relation to a 3C opening bid.
1C or pass are both possible.
2C playing Precision is perfect.

The hand is very offensive and, with an ODR of 7-to-2, it's worth a 3♣ bid for me. Tad aggressive but I find 1♣ rather TAME.

3♣ would never enter my mind!
1♣ would, though - and I might pull that at the table.
But pass has got to be best for now.
Kind regards,
