I can't imagine being dealt a 12 count with 2 aces and a 6 card suit that I wouldn't happily open at the 1 level.

How many aces is that then?

But I'd open 1S anyway.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

One ace, but 2.5 QT and looks routine to open 1♠.

There are bridge players, who look at their hand, besides counting points.
Not everybody counts ♠QJ,♣Jx as 4 HCP, neither am I convinced this to be such a good idea. I would happily exchange them for a king and then certainly open 1♥.
I also would prefer ♠x,♥AQxxxx,♦Axx,♣xxx for a 1♥ opening.
2 aces and the six card suit are nice, the rest is rubbish.

As one infamous poster would say ♥ for me, just one.


I do not like too much that "infamous".
But I know you mean it well.
You get my upvote.
