First seat - stipulate your form of scoring and vulnerability if you think it affects your decision. Is this worth an opening bid?

Yes. Yes.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Pretty clear opener considering both jacks have the ten.

Aceless 9 loser hand, why open it. Maybe if NV v V, where 1S has some competitive value.

The hcp distribution is awful, but nevertheless you have the hcp, so open. Pard is still there.

Sure, I open.

You have the mayors, you have no
rebid problem.
Switch the mayors, and I may pass.

I would expect it not to matter, on the majority of hands, whether you open or not. On the remaining minority, I would expect it to work well to open on some occasions and poorly on others. Perhaps the bidders have the edge. So I marginally prefer opening, but it is close.

Ok, I thought it was a little more on the border than that, but fine. What is the minimum change you would need to make it not an opener?

If you want it to be very close, remove the tens. I think then you'll get a pretty even split.
