Add me for an X, and also I probably would also have opened too.

I think you did not list the secondbest choice: 5 ♥ to look for a slam in clubs.
But this does not matter, because we all would double.

Seriously, I've got a 10-count, a nice 5-card suit, a singleton, a good rebid and good interiors (♥J8 ♣T). This hand is better than an average balanced 12-count. And I do open hands worse than that.
Kind regards,
Harald

I hate double ...
I can't underwrite a game
I have undisclosed support for partner
I have only a singleton trump
...
The problem is do I hate the alternatives more?

Double WTP obviously.
BTW, I would only open the hand at w/r.

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

Double and bidding isnt over, at this level partner will play us more for general strenght than for diamonds tricks. So if hes got a monster we might still reach game/slam.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."
