I'd open with AQ in spades but I'd be fully aware that it's a little over the line.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

If the AQ was in spades I'd be happy to open this 1♠ - on the given hand I wouldn't though.

This depends a lot on the system you're playing. MOSCITO is the only system I'd open (1♥), otherwise I'd pass and I think around 90% will agree.

Well it obviously depends on system. If you're playing a strong club and open most/all tens then obviously you open.

Playing something fairly standard or 2/1-ish, I wouldn't open this hand. In fact, I wouldn't open if the AQ were in spades either; I find that opening random ten-counts is a good way to get in trouble playing standard methods.
