Like almost every single other thread posted about whether or not a hand should be opened at the 1 level, my guess is it doesn't matter that much either way in the long run. I would pass though.

An obvious 1♥ opening IMO. Just winning bridge tactics in my experience.
Kind regards,
Harald

Why am I deviating (sub-minimum) when I have both majors?
How will any reopening double much less than this hand ever make sense?
How much IS left to reopening? Never a Majors hand?
Is that alertable - a partnership agreement to open functioning 8's?
But not alerted?

I also don't understand the poll question. I'd open this hand if I were playing a style in which partner expects me to open this hand.

Why are we all making autopsy on a bid where it clearly is a matter of style to open or not ? If pd knows thats a possible hand we open then we do, if not then we don't.

"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."
