Opening a hand like that with 1♠ is awful bridge. You're completely screwed if partner raises, you're completely screwed if partner bids something and we wind up declaring at all. You have plenty of defense/spot cards. You are balanced, you have no Aces or Kings. Need I say more? Not even I would psych that 1♠.


partner has at most a 9 count. Partner knows we open light in 3rd seat. Partner knows to bid drury with 4 spades if he has them. I could smell their spade fit. It was a clear spot to open 1S and wouldve worked well

Lies
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

5♦ how else do you have a chance for your opps to land in their 4-3 ♠ fit and at the 5 level :) . Doesn't matter if they are world class or putzers you need to put the squeeze on for a shot at a misguess. Of course the WC will solve the dilemma better more often than the putzers but passing is just giving them more room to be sure the bat hits the ball squarely
