I am hoping p will put me in 6 with 2 aces else i am happy to try
5c. I do not want to give the opps the opportunity to maybe find
a great save in 5/6 of a major so opening 1c seems terrible to me
with this close to zero defense hand. 3n from p side might work
but the risk of opps finding majors is too great.

1 is terrible. The opponents are very likely to enter the auction and find their major suit game.

3 and 4 are not good either. Partner will raise according to trump length, not general strength.

I have 9.5 tricks already, I just hope that partner can give one to two side suit tricks and make the 5.

At the first or second seat, I would open this 1 and bid constructively; at the third seat, this is a definite 5.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, why are you worried about a major suit game making, when you're obvoiusly not willing to sell out to it anyway?
