This was at MP's.
If you bid 2♠,
- would you also do it at IMPs?
- How much weaker can you be?

Yes, 2♠. My hand has "six points" but my hand is lousy.

I consider this to be an average strength hand for the bidding, so I could be weaker.

Form of scoring does not matter to me here.

Same, as long as I don't have defense to 2H, I am happy competing to 2S.

Yes, and glad 2S is available to use as a natural bid.

I'd bid 2S at MPs and IMPs, and probably the same without the HJ, passing if I was also missing the DJ. It's a pretty yucky hand.

pretty sure I would bid two spades with T9xxxx!s and a heart singleton for example.

the minority report:

pass

If p cannot balace with x we will probably have a
difficult time making 2s and thats the good news.
There is no strong reason to assume 2s cant be
slaughtered.

with say KJTxx xx xxx xxx 2s no problem but this
rag will probably only work on hands p can x with
in po seat.
