The Aces on Bridge: Saturday, 28 March 2026

I am all for raising partner when I can, but the black-suit disparity is too great here. If it is a part-score deal, you want to play in your near-solid six-carder. If partner has enough for game, you will have another chance to show your spade support. So, two clubs it is. I think if you had the same shape but with the club king in either red suit, your decision would be close.
