Depends on the day and partnership. I don't have strong feelings about this personally, but when I was tracking preempts, I found that preempting hands with 1 flaw was a big winner, and preempting hands with 2+ flaws was a big loser when I preempted 1st & 2nd seat. In my limited study of my own results, flaws were counted for bad suit quality/unusual suit length, outside first round controls (aces or voids), and outside 4 card majors.

I consider the bad suit and the void to be two flaws in terms of preempting, so I might be able to talk myself into passing, despite my natural inclination to bid.

I assume you just stopped counting at two flaws.

It has two flaws by my count: Poor suit quality, and a first round control outside of my suit.

Easy 2♥ for me; might open 3♥ if NV.
