I'd open. I usually add about 3 points for being 6-4.

I open at favourable.

I might open a weak two at other vulnerabilities.

I consider myself somewhat stodgy when it comes to opening hands, but I would open this 1D in any seat at any vulnerability.

1D, or 3D, never 2 and never pass.

At second position I feel more like 3D.
