LEAD WITH THE ACES

-

ANSWER: Your partner was forced to bid and may not have anything. While you would need real extras to bid again in an unconteste­d auction, raising to two spades should show a little something. It would promise around 15-17 points or extra shape rather than being purely competitiv­e. So here you should pass, expecting your partner to bid to two spades with a fourcard suit and anything more than an absolute minimum.
