Rebids by Responder over 1NT

Playing matchpoints. Neither you nor the Opponents are vulnerable.

Here is your hand:
♠T
♥AJ986
♦KQ
♣KJ754

Partner opens the bidding 1NT. The Opponents are silent during the auction. You respond 2♦. (You play Jacoby Transfers.) Now Partner dutifully bids 2♥. What is your call?

Show Answer

3♣. This should show five cards in both suits and forces the Partnership to game.

This is a nice feature of the Jacoby Transfer bid. You are able to show a more distributional hand to give Partner a choice of contracts.

Here you just might be able to get to a small slam. Partner has:
♠A6
♥KT7
♦A52
♣AQT86

and loves BOTH your suits!!!
