I have a mental checklist that I automatically fill out every time I judge an opening hand. A lot of my Magic plays stem from similar checklists.
● Am I going to get color screwed based on the mana cost of my cards versus the mana in the opener?
● Does the hand have a bad curve?
● Will I likely lose if I don't draw more lands in my first few turns?
● Did I draw relevant sideboard cards?
There's more to it, but this is more or less what I think. If the "nos" outweigh the "yes" then I'm good to go.
