The question asked is"pass or open?".My answer is I shall open 1H. Whether one applies the losing trick count (6 losers) or total points count 12 plus10 = 22 and HCP count,I am convinced that this hand deserves to be opened 1H.

I would open simply because:

1. My side rates to have the balanced of honor strength (especially since RHO passed in third chair) - my side's expected honor strength is close to 22 of the 40 HCP.

2. I have a good pattern that makes game very possible opposite constructive values with a good heart fit - and partner virtually always has at least 8 or 9 HCP on this auction. E.g.,

Kxxx
Jxxx
xxx
Ax

Kxx
Jxxx
xxxx
AQ

4H is virtually cold opposite both of these hands and game will have good play on countless other hands with a heart fit.

Open 1 heart. Your hand is better than you think.
