Jacoby Transfers - What to bid after you Transfer to Hearts and you have a FIVE card suit? (Easier)

First read this post: Introducing Jacoby Transfers (Easier)
Then read ths post: Jacoby Transfers - Completing the Transfer (Easier)

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. 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? You have several options.

First of all you can even just Pass Partner's bid! This will show a hand with fewer 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 2NT. This will show an invitational hand with a five card major.

♠Q92
♥QJT32
♦KJ4
♣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 have the values for a game. You can only invite game. But you also want to try to play in your major if you can. Partner is only allowed to have one doubleton in their hand. Maybe you have a ♥ fit. This way you can both invite game and show Partner you have a five card ♥ suit.

You can instead bid 3NT. This will show a game forcing hand with a five card major.

♠Q92
♥QJT32
♦KJ4
♣A2

Here you want to be in game. Together you and Partner have the values. But you also want to try to play in your major if you can. Partner is only allowed to have one doubleton in their hand. Maybe you have a ♥ fit. This way you can both force to game and show Partner you have a five card ♥ suit.

Here is a table that shows some of your responses with a five 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
3NT	A five card ♥ suit with 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?
