Pass for me as well. If partner opens we have something to say, but until then no.

I also find it too much of a distortion to open 2H. Either pass or 1H. I voted for 1H but I recognize the merits of pass.As a general principle, I don't much care for the idea that some hands with an adequate six card major are too strong for 2M and too weak for 1M. I prefer to bite the bullet and do one or the other. Perhaps this hand is the exception, but I open 1H.

System wasn't stated, but if playing typical 2/1 style where pard will GF with random crappy 12 counts, I don't think this can be a 1♥ opening.

Oddly, there is a very similar poll in beginner-intermediate (the hand there is xxx, AJTxxx, --, Axxx). That one is pretty evenly split between 1♥ and 2♥.

With a partner that understands, 1♥.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

I thought in 2/1 context, there was a perfect bid with random crappy 12 counts: 1NT forcing followed by 2NT alike.
