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

Everybody's partnership agreement includes one level openings on hands with less offense and/or less defence than this one. Pass or a weak two (or three) bid is simply wrong. Without more information those are the only alternatives.

In my previous regular partnership, we did not like to open light in the first/second seat. I mean 11 & 10 HCP hands (yes, I am old-fashioned). However, we open all 10/11 HCP hands where the points are in Aces and Kings. i.e. a hand with 1A+2K or a hand with 2A+1K is always opened because the Milton Work point count undervalues aces and kings. (Obviously, it is understood that ace/kings cannot be in short suits)

I think this hand is a 100% certain 1♠ opening. And the ♦9 would not influence the decision!

Looks like an obvious 1♠ to me. Pass and 2♠ are completely wrong. 1A, 2K, void heart, 6 card suit... what more do you want?!

If you pass this you'd want an understanding partner...

Hum ... Pass for me . I can already see myself going down in 3nt if I open. I would bid 2♠ if given the chance later on.
