With all white you receive as dealer:

♠AKJTxxx
♥Jxx
♦
♣Jxx

What do you open? What's your general plan?

4♠ at the forums of course!

At the table I don't feel very strongly about anything.

3 or 4♠. 3 will probably steal the pot but I'm more inclined to 4 because I fear missing out a game if the void is useful.

Under the conditions, 1♠.

... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Say you open 1♠, what's your rebid over partner's forcing 1NT? What about over 2♣ F.G.?

A reasonable alternative is 4S.

After 1NT: 2S, I have a min opener.
After 2C: 4S, I have a min opener.

1 or 4.

The more competent the opposition, the more inclined towards 4.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

3♠ red, 4♠ white. I don't think much of Jxx so not 1♠ for me.

I am over 65. 3S because I am unimaginative, and 4S in early seat shows anti-namyats 7 to 7 1/2 tricks and I don't think any of the 3 jacks brings it up to that.

4♠ at these colors. Not quite as clear with 7303 as 7033 shape, but I'm still willing to bid one more with my void and good colors.

1S or 4S, anything else is a joke.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.
