I open a weak 1NT.

With a stiff major I will open 1♦.

i just skewed the poll. I misread the hand and clicked 1♣. I would bid 1♦ in reality though.

All depends on your system. If I were playing Crimson Death, the hand is too weak to open 1S showing 15+ HCP and 4+ diamonds but would be opened 1NT, promising no 4-card major and perhaps 4-5 either way in the minors. Those playing Moscito would open the hand 1S

Out of curiosity, does anybody's opinion change with:

7
K94
J9543
AKQ7

?

I feel a deja vu here...I may have asked this before, and if so, I apologize...

Crimson Death opens this hand 1NT.

A misclick is the only explanation for a 1C bid.
