Thanks for the replies.

I also bid 3C at the table and my pard bid 3NT with:

Axxx
AKxx
xxx
xx

which go down a lot (with Club QTx behind), should my pard pass 3C?
or this is just one unlucky hand?

So we got to a vul game that needed 2-2 clubs and not the best opening lead? I've been in worse.

It's not that we have 7 of them that counts but that with a modicum of fit we have a good shot of producing 7 tricks in 3NT when partner goes what for us will feel like overboard

Yeah that goes hand in hand with having a decent 7 card suit :)

Would solid clubs double 1st?
Which path shows need fitting C-honor?
Which shows need second H-stop?

By guess and by golly went set. How unpredictable!?

without the ♣A I wouldn't do it, with AJ98xxx definitely. Partner's 3NT is ok as well. Unlucky imo.
