Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

3C looks reasonable.

But if you had the ♣9 it would be perfect

I'm bidding 2♣, stay low and await developments.
Partner's response is expected but does not improve my hand.

3♣ seems obvious...If either of my aces were in ♦, I might choose to GF, but my ♦ are horrible. So, I won't think about slam unless partner makes a strong move over 3♣ or if he can bid 3♦ I will begin to get a bit more excited.

This hand feels fishy to me. The blocked aces spell trouble and the major suit shortage is a bad omen. I'm therefore going to make the slight underbid of 2♣.

Can somebody explain why this hand spells trouble? Don't we have a great club suit, enough entries, very few losers, 8 tricks, etc? I really don't see anything negative.

3♣, we have a good hand and a good suit.

It is posted in an internet forum as a question, so the percentage action is likely wrong.

Well: bad controls in the long suits, bad placement of the aces, 5♣ game a long way, likelyhood of pard having major suit length.
Anyway, I don't know... it's just a feeling and I usually follow my instincts. I think if you bid 3♣ there are many unsuitable hands with which pard will be driving to what rates to be a hopeless game.
