Playing matchpoints. You are not vulnerable and the Opponents are vulnerable.
Here is your hand:
♠7
♥AT98
♦AKJ9764
♣5
Partner is Dealer and says "Pass". Right Hand Opponent says "Pass". What is your call?

How about 1♦?
You have an opening hand. Open at the 1 level.
The problem with opening 3♦ is that Partner will never realize how strong you are. Especially at these colours where you could be pre-empting in third seat with not much at all.
Turns out Partner has the Q♦, a doubleton ♥ and the A♠. Not much but enough so you make 5♦.
