Do you open 1 spade here?
♠A975
♥QT74
♣A8
♦54
I think with 10 HCP and 2 points for the singletons it's close. I have two four card majors, two aces, moderate side cards, but am a little short on points. Let's assume you pass. The bidding then goes
LHO : Pass
Partner : 1s
RHO : 2c
Your bid.

Even with 13 cards and 11 points(adding the J♠) I would still pass this hand....there is no stuffing..just bare bones(!)

Even I would not open this!

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

- As opener: Pass = 10, 1♣ = 7, playing 2/1. (But 1♦ = 10, Pass = 8, playing a strong 1♣ system).
- Over 2♣: 2N (Good 4 card raise) = 10, 3♣ (UCB) = 9, 4♠ = 8, 3♠ = 7.
