I would open 1♠. 2NT is the only other call worthy of consideration. The hand is not even close to a 2♣ opening bid.

"Not even close" is definitely an overstatement, I would open 2♣ for sure if you gave me the ♦K instead of the ♦Q.

That's like adding more than 1 point. That is definitely not even close imo.

Interesting that many consider this a 1♠ opener and others think this is a 2♣ --> 2N opening.

I'm not that proud of 2N btw. On most days, I would echo Noble's sentiments.

Me too, and 1♠ with the OP's hand for me.

2♣? Lol.

How many tricks is that ♦Qx worth opposite a partner who passes 1♠?.

Seriously, 2NT is another style and maybe works. But you could give me ♠Q and I would not open 2♣ either.

Looks like a simple 1♠ opener to me
