Bidding practice

Coaching on

The most widely-played natural bidding system in North America. 5-card majors, strong 1NT (15-17), strong 2C, weak twos, Stayman, and Jacoby transfers.

South’s turn to bid.

Planning

With a 7 card spade suit, a Jacoby transfer is a no brainer.
Make sure that you and your partner understand that a Jacoby transfer is also good on
a 2NT opening.
Or just treat this as a once off.
