LEAD WITH THE ACES

ANSWER: It was very nice of your RHO to take you off the hook here. Had he passed, you would have been forced to rebid one no-trump, since this is the closest approximat­ion — or least lie — to describe what you have. But now you can pass and await developmen­ts without having to distort your hand. Redouble here would show a better hand than this, by the way (or three trumps if playing support doubles).
