LEAD WITH THE ACES

-

ANSWER: While there is nothing to be ashamed of in this hand, you could argue for a jump to three hearts to take space away from the opponents. The logic is reinforced when facing a passed hand, since you expect it to be their hand, not yours. The counterarg­ument is that it will help the opponents guess spades and diamonds. That possibilit­y persuades me to just bid two hearts.
