(Assuming 1♥/2♥ = just ♥):- No-one seems to have raised the issue of it going something like 1♥ - (1♠) - 4♥ - (4♠) - P - P -? Something about that issue about having a couple of defensive tricks to open at the one level. It's also an 11 count with no singleton but with quacks - when I play in ♥ sometimes these will be useful, sometimes irrelevant & sometimes they will turn out to be the cards that would have scored in defence but are worthless (ie a hinderance) to me now. So clearly the hand doesn't qualify as a proper 11 count but valuing them as worthless seems just as crazy. Ergo I can't see any justification for 1♥ but AQ to 6 with (albeit "on average") a bit of stuff outside seems easily good enough (normal?) to open 2. So occasionally I'll go for 800 against 110 - that's bridge. Far more often if I pass I'll let the opposition play in the right level (usually ♠) contract when getting the first punch in would've given them problems that a fair percentage of the time means IMPs/matchpoints to my side (1♠ - 3/4♠ being an obvious example). Not that if I picked up this hand I'd go through this analysis. It's a trivial 2♥ opening.
