Summary of all Easier bids after a Jacoby Transfer to Hearts

First read this post: Introducing Jacoby Transfers.
Then read this post: Jacoby Transfers - Completing the Transfer

This post combines several posts together. To look at the different responses individually, read the following posts:
Rebidding Pass, 2NT or 3NT after a Jacoby Transfer (Hearts)
Rebidding Pass, Inviting Game or Bidding Game after a Jacoby Transfer (Hearts)

Remember when you went through Jacoby to transfer to your major you showed a FIVE card suit. If you just have a five card suit your next bid should be either Pass (with a weak hand) or some number of NT to show your point count. There is NO NEED to bid the major again. You showed Partner you had five of them when you transferred.

If you have SIX in the major you know you have a fit. Partner must have at least two cards in the suit to open NT. Therefore your next bid should either be Pass (with a weak hand) or some number of the major to not only show your values but tell Partner you have SIX in the suit so you must have a fit.

Here is a table that shows some of your responses with a five and 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:
If you now bid: This shows:
Pass A five or more card suit with less than 8 HCP
2NT A five card suit with 8 or 9 HCP
3 A six card suit with invitational values (about 8 or 9 HCP)
3NT A five card suit with 10 to 15 HCP
4 A six card suit with game forcing values (about 10 to 15 HCP)


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?
