PASS -- if you open in first position on this type of hand HOW in the world will partner EVER trust your bidding (This applies (IMHO) whatever the state of the game - Teams MPs or IMPS

Vulnerable, a clear pass.
Not vulnerable, a clear 3C, if you preempt sensibly, that is to say frequently.

This is not a serious question. Surely this is a pass, rather I need a big win, a small win, any win.

Try it, you'll like it
It works. I wish the side suit queens weren't there, but you can't have everything.
Plus, you steal the contract frequently, down 1 or 2, or make it. Down more, but the opps have a game.
On the downside, you can play doubled, go down 3 to stop a part score, or preempt yourself out of a game, all rare.
Vul, the penalties are too heavy to bid. Oh, well.

If I'm playing a weak 2 in ♣ then I'll open that. Otherwise pass.

Not vulnerable in third seat I'd have no problem opening 3C, but VUL in first seat definitely not.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Pass. When it comes to opening 3♣ or 3♦, I count 4/3/2/1 in the suit, 3/2/1/0.5 outside the suit, 1 for a seventh card and I open with 7-9 of these "mixed" points. Hence, I lack the ♠Q (among other possibilities)

pass.... why does everyone want to overbid to gain a swing? Maybe an underbid might work. Certainly, -1400 will not help win the match.
BTW, if you are desperate for a swing, instead of overbidding or underbidding, try taking a non-percentage declarer play. For example, in 4S with trump KJ9x vs Axxx needing no losers, lead the JS and if covered, finesse the 9 on the way back. If that works, you gain 10 IMPs, while risking few % in the play.

I don't think it is an evaluation question,
certainly not a hand evaluation question.
The hand is a clearcut pass at this
vuln.
If you really need to engineer a swing,
then try to open 1NT. And pass partner's
Stayman.

I seem to have lost my youthfulness, it pains me to even think of opening this 3C at any vulnerability lol. I will beat them by playing better and judging the auctions better, i see no need to shoot craps in order to win. Thats all opening 3C is, and its a losing proposition at that. Win it by outplaying them.

According to your profile, I'm 31 years older than you are.
Apparently I'm entering my second childhood.
Or is it my third, I can't remember...
