As long as we are going with hypotheticals, how about these?

♠AKQx
♥xxxxx
♦x
♣Axx

1. Your call over opponent's 1♦ opening?

2. Your call over opponent's 1♣ opening?

Feel free to indicate any changes due to vulnerability over form of scoring.

double over 1♦, 1♥ over 1♣. I would like to play 4+♠5+♥ michaels on just this one hand then change back to regular.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Unless you have something in your system bag for handling 4-5s, double and 1H is obvious. (Thinly veiled brag: with my reg p, I do :) )

I just like to bid my hand.... usually..

I guess at MP 1♠ has more merit than at imp... but still pretty bad and all.

Guess I will dissent, X over 1D is pretty clearcut.

I would bid 1S over 1C but not really sure why, I would rather have those spades in the auction than those hearts. Spades probably won't plat too well on diamond forces mind.

No real logic behind this choice, just what I would do as I attempt to overcall 1S as often as possible.

After 1♦ Dbl is clear.

After 1♣:
2004 1♥
2007 2♣ showing 44+M
2010 1♠ or pass planning to Dbl later
2013 ???

What, no, why?

You gave us far too good a hand to do anything but bid our longest suit over 1C. And over 1D a takeout double is just too obvious.

Echo (sorry) the others.

1♠ overcall over 1♣ has some superficial appeal, but why can't we expect that this is our hand? I mean, maybe after pard had already passed and we didn't have the ♣A.

I'd double over either minor. If partner bids diamonds at a high level, I know he has a sense of humor, considering what seat he is sitting in, unless we met at the partnership desk.

If you put a diamond next to a diamond, neither seems to dazzle as much as when you put either next to a plain stone.

Dbl over 1D; 1H over 1C.
I would not criticize much if 1H over either, but I like Dbl better on the 1D.
