RHO passes, you are W/W and playing a Strong Club system and are not playing Namyats. What do you open?

If you open 1♣:
Spoiler

If you open 1♠:
Spoiler

If you open 4♠:
Spoiler

Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

I'd open 1♣, because I own the boss suit. I simply won't be able to convey this playing strength if I open 1♠.

As for what next: the hand is almost good enough to pass 5♥ and pull the double (I assume that this auction is forcing) but I don't think it quite adds to enough.....partner's 5-7 hcp have to be very specific to make slam good, and bidding 5♠ may allow him to evaluate well anyway.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.
