2S. Why? because I have a 7 loser hand.

2♠ is enough. While I love having 3 aces and a stiff, I have only a J extra, and weak trump and a stiff ace hasn't proven to me to be worth the full added value of a stiff in many cases, ie slight downgrade. Now if we trade the A♣ for the 2♠ meaning that we hold ATxx ♠ and 2♣ then I don't mind an aggressive 3♠ bid here.

I replied 2♠ previously, imo value of this hand is between 2-3 ♠ leaning more towards 2♠. Change the ♣ A and put somewhere else it would be perfect 3♠ for me.
