Partner needs a very good quality second suit of spades or clubs to make that more viable and low value singleton KD makes the preempt preferable.

2♥. Not close, especially on 2nd seat.

Doesn't strike me as close in 1st or 3rd seat either, to be honest. 2♥ for me too.

1♥

I have an opening hand, so I open it. Also I don't see any reason for going out of my way to show a preempt in a suit of AQ9543.

However, if GIB did something else (2♥ or pass) I certainly wouldn't regard it as a bug worthy of posting in the GIB forum.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Wouldn't open 2H, it seems too far off.

Pass or 1H depending on opening style.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

I don't care much for this, as both 1 and 2♥ are pretty much ok in my book.

2♥ probably. 1♥ is OK too, especially at IMPs.

Its a pass that leaves me scratching my head.

I voted for pass. I think an 11-count is too much for a weak 2, and especially in second seat I want my hand to be close to what's expected.

1♥ looks completely obvious to me.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I think 2♥ in second seat would be fine if vul, I'll open 1♥ if not vul.

2♥. That's the bid I would make if my hand were Kxx AQxxxx x Jxx, and this hand is worse.

Hmm? Jxx K Jxx is worth 5 points these days or else Brits will start vomitting?

It's not about points - I'm quite happy to pass, but I think preempting 2nd seat vul on such a defensive hand is horrible.

It's a very fair point that we have a lot of defense but I still think 2♥ is more effective than pass. Usually LHO will open in third seat and we will have to overcall next round anyway, so we are just missing a chance to get in his way.

Never Pass. I can imagine a very likely third seat 2S-P-P- or a third seat 1S -P-2S- and what would I do then?

2h risks missing spade suit (with a cruddy suit to boot)
1h risks getting us overboard with what is probably a better defensive than offensive hand

we still have a partner and if they cannot open the bidding it is hugely unlikely we missed anything much.

I choose the cowardly pass at imps

I agree with 655321, especially the last part.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
