well, at unfavorable 1st seat or 2nd seat, this hand is too good for hearts to open 2♠. I hope I will be able to pass it at the table also.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I'm generally more strict in following rules regarding weak 2s than the vast majority of people...seems like a perfectly reasonable 2♠ to me.
I constantly try and "Esc-wq!" to finish and post webforum replies.

I like pass more than 2♠.

2♠ seems normal at unfavourable.

Hi,

since we are red vs. green, and in first position,
2S is an option, a weak two bid in this situation,
should be sound, ... what ever that may mean
for you, but so is pass.

What you do is a matter of style, my partner prefers
to pass with this kind hand, and I more and more follow
suit.

With kind regards
Marlowe

2S at matchpoints, pass at IMPs.

2♠ all the time. "Six-four bid more", as they say.

2♠ is fine.

I don't object to a pass, but I really don't like a 1♠ opening.

That sounds more like a slogan for 1♠ or 3♠. My concern about 2♠ is that the hand may be too strong (if it fits well with partner's hand).
