Jacoby Transfers (holding 5♠/5♥)
NB: With interference, transfers are
still “on”!
Use “X” as “They stole my bid”
|
1. Partner opens/overcalls 1 NT (15-18) |
|
|
2. You hold 5♥ or 5♠ so
you want partner to bid one of these suits! |
|
|
3. To transfer bid the suit “just
below”(2♦è2♥) (2♥è2♠) |
|
|
4. If you have bid 2♦
then partner (who opened 1NT) will re-bid 2♥ |
|
|
5. |
With a balanced hand you now seek the final level as follows: |
|
|
18+ HCP ► Bid 5NT (partner decides on 6NT/6♥/6♠) |
|
|
16-17 HCP ► Bid 4NT (partner bids 6NT/6♥/6♠ with max HCP) |
|
|
10-15 HCP ► Bid 3NT (partner may raise to 4♥/♠) |
|
|
8-9 HCP ► Bid 2NT (partner may raise to 3NT/4♥/4♠) |
|
|
0-7 HCP ► Pass (Partnership probably holds less than 25TP) |
|
