LEAD WITH THE ACES

-

ANSWER: The question is whether to pass and leave well enough alone, or raise to three clubs. I think passing is right since you are not especially worried about the opponents competing, plus your soft honors in spades and diamonds are not ideal for play in clubs. I’d consider raising if partner had responded two diamonds, not two clubs — or if the spade queen were the ace.
