Scoring: IMP

P - (P) - 1C - (2D)* - X - (P) - ?


Playing SAYC, or 2/1. 2♦ is a weak jump, and the double is negative.

I confess that I would bid 3N. It's a pretty sick bid though.

The problem is that you have 7 clubs and the ♦A. So 3N is quite likely, if the clubs run. Which they did.
This time I was defending: at my table the guy with the long clubs bid 4♣, and ended up in 5♣ (which had no play at all: 1 off).
My team-mates bid 3♣, and made 4. A slight gain, but with AKxx Jxxx xxx Qx in N, you make the same 10 tricks in NT too.

IMHO, 3N is almost always the practical bid, with a long, amost-running minor and an outside ace (and your pard promising values in the majors).
