LEAD WITH THE ACES

-

ANSWER: Your partner ought to have extra values with 3=5=1=4 shape. You belong in clubs here and, having limited your hand, might even be too good to jump to five clubs. However, there is much to be said for the simplicity of bidding game and relying on partner to take another call if he feels so inclined. You could argue that a four-diamond call is a good hand for clubs, but I remain unconvince­d.
