Jacoby Transfers - What to bid after you Transfer to Hearts and you have a SIX card suit?
First read this post: Introducing Jacoby Transfers.
Then read ths post: Jacoby Transfers - Completing the Transfer
So your Partner opened the bidding 1NT and you decided to make a transfer bid. You wanted to show Partner you have a five card major. Partner was good and accepted the transfer. On these hands you have a SIX card major. Bidding Jacoby only shows a five card major. Now what?
In each of the examples below you bid 2♦ which meant you had five ♥. Partner make the appropriate response (2♥) and it is now your turn to bid again. What do you do to tell Partner you have SIX in the major? You have several options.
First of all you can even just Pass Partner's bid! This will show a hand with less than 8 HCP. Something like this hand:
♠9
♥QJT532
♦8642
♣82
With this hand you don't want to play in NT. You are too distributional. You have a ♥ fit (Partner MUST have at least two of them). You also want to stay as low as you can. Even if you have only five in the suit chances are you are better off playing in your major rather than NT.
Another option is to bid 3♥. This will show an invitational hand with a SIX card major.
♠Q9
♥QJT932
♦K84
♣82
Here you want to invite game. Partner could have 17 HCP and together you have the values for a game. But Partner could also have only 15 HCP and you don't. You can only invite game. But you also want to play in your major. Partner MUST have at least two of the major in their hand -- they opened 1NT. This way you can both invite game and show Partner you have a six card ♥ suit.
You can instead bid 4♥. This will show a game forcing hand with a SIX card major.
♠Q9
♥KJT632
♦K84
♣A2
Here you want to be in game. Together you and Partner have the values. You have a ♥ fit. Partner has at least two. Place the contract.
You can instead bid 6♥. This will show a slam hand with a SIX card major.
♠A9
♥KQT632
♦KQ2
♣A2
Here you want to force a small slam. Partner has at least 15 HCP and together you have the values for a small slam. But you also want to play in your major. Place the contract.
Here is a table that shows some of your responses with a six card ♥ suit. This assumes Partner has opened the bidding 1NT and you bid 2♦ which forced Partner to bid 2♥. Now it is your bid:
On each of the following hands your Partner opened the bidding 1NT. You bid 2♦ (transfer to ♥) which forced Partner to bid 2♥. Partner then bid 2♥ like they should. It is your turn to bid. What will you bid?
