The bidding: Jacoby Barnstone You
2 10 80 (P) ANSWER: Your correct bid is three notrump. The fact that your partner can bid two notrump in the face of diamond bid by both opponents and with your holding the Ace of that suit, indicates that he has a very good hand. Hence, it is probable your six clubs will all be tricks at notrump and you should have a good play for game in that denomination.
Score 100% for threa notrump, 60% for pass, 30% for four clubs (you have. no singleton and it is very doubtful that you can make Ave clubs,) 0 for any other bid.
