1♣ for me.

With one partner I play a 3NT opening asks for specific aces, so I would try that.

6C for me, partner produces 2 aces and out, easy game.

Looks like one of those decks where everyone is making a lot, so even if 6C doesnt make, it should be a good sac (ps. I'm bidding 7 if partner doesnt double a slam by LHO and praying partner doesnt have a non trump ace)

1C. The chance that partner has two aces is large enough not to open 5C and small enough not to open 6C. I like the 3NT opening, for this hand.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

I play 4NT as specific ace asking, so that bid does not help here.

I think the downside of opening 1♣ can be that we are outbid, but I'd still open 1♣ and rebid it at a higher level later.

I only have 12 points including a singleton king, but the club suit is very good, so I will upgrade and open 1♣.

OK, so it would seem that the common consensus is to open 1♣.

1.
1♣ - (1♠) - 2♥ - (Pass)
?

2.
1♣ - (4♠) - 5♥ - (Pass)
?

The clubs aren't that good it is a broken sequence.

I might pass ...

but the last time I tried that with a 10-bagger

well you can say I am still waiting for the bidding to get back to me :)

On the first auction I would bid 4♣, which seems natural to me, though maybe the scientists disagree.

On your second auction 6♣ seems very obvious.

I figured 6♣ was obvious on the 2nd one, but on the first, I'm not sure what's best... I just figured I'd take advantage of an interesting hand to give a few sample auctions... How about this one?

1♣ - (2♠) - 3♦ - (P)

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.
