	Jacoby Transfers
		Jacoby Transfers are used after a player has opened or overcalled a natural 1NT and his partner holds at least one five-card major suit.
		If the artificial transfer bid is overcalled, the 1NT bidder can pass with only two-card support, double for penalty or complete the transfer at the three-level with at least three-card support and a very good hand.
		Note that Stayman, not transfers, should be used with hands that are 4-5 or 5-4 in the majors.

	Jacoby Transfers
		Invented by world champion Oswald Jacoby, the Jacoby Transfer is a popular convention that can improve your notrump bidding.
		It also "transfers" the actual bid of the real suit to the 1NT opener, who is required to bid the suit responder is promising -- a 2D response forces the 1NT opener to bid 2H; a 2H response forces a 2S bid.
		The Jacoby transfer saves bidding space and gives responder an easier, more accurate way to show his strength later in the auction.

	Jacoby Transfers
		Jacoby 2D and 2H Transfers When your partner has opened a strong 1NT (say, 15-17 HCPs) we generally want PARTNER to play the hand so that all hir "goodies" are protected from the opening lead and hidden from view as Declarer.
		This explains the "raison d'etre" for the Jacoby transfer responses of 2D (5+Hearts) and 2H (5+Spades).
		The beauty of Jacoby Transfers is in their simplicity: you can use them REGARDLESS of your strength!

	Jacoby Transfers - Competition
		We saw, in the Introduction to Jacoby Transfers, that, after the transfer, Responder has all sorts of descriptive ways to progress the auction.
		As usual, Opener’s rebid is largely governed by the number of cards he has in the transfer suit.
		Transfers are still on, and you can use Double as a surrogate for Stayman.

	Bridge Bidding Conventions
		I prefer to use Jacoby 2NT over major suit openings and to use inverted minors over minor suit openings, with 2NT as 11-12 and invitational over a minor suit opening.
		Use in conjunction with Jacoby transfers to the majors the whole scheme is often called 4-way transfers.
		Quest transfers is a convention used after the sequence 1NT - 2♣ - 2♦ whereby a jump to 3♦ or 3♥ is a transfer to the suit above and shows 5 cards in the suit transferred into and 4 in the other major.

	ASNoTrump
		Transfers (suit bids which force Opener to rebid in the next higher suit) are used over a 1NT opener and in response to a 1NT overcall.
		Even if playing Jacoby Transfers, this transfer is useful because of its preemptive value, and because it tells the opponents very little.
		Jacoby Transfers are also used over an opening 2NT, if a 2C Opener rebids 2NT or 3NT, and after partner’s 1NT Overcall.

	Jacoby Transfer: Bridge Bidding Convention
		Jacoby Transfer - The Jacoby Transfer is a popular bidding treatment to enable the Notrump opener to become declarer when the responder holds five or more cards in a suit.
		Jacoby, born in Brooklyn on Dec. 8, 1902, left Columbia in his junior year to become an actuary, completing the examination of the Society of Actuaries in 1924 to become, at age 21, the youngest person ever to do so.
		Jacoby was elected to the bridge Hall of Fame 1965 and was named ACBL Honorary Member in 1967.

		Transfer bids are made on all hands containing a five-card, or longer, major suit except as noted above (see Stayman) for 5-4 major suit holdings.
		When responder holds a long major suit, it is appropriate to transfer with no strength, planning to pass when partner accepts the transfer.
		JACOBY 2NT: When responder jumps to 2NT after an opening bid of 1H or 1S, the trump suit has been established and opener is asked for further information regarding his hand.

		If Jacoby transfer is doubled, opener may pass, XX to show strong holding in doubled suit, complete transfer to show 3+ trumps, or jump to 3 of suit.
		If transfer is overcalled, opener may bid 3 of major only with good supporting hand, X for penalty, or pass.
		Stayman and Jacoby transfers for the majors are used.

	NVCC Lesson Mar 30, 2005
		This is an important difference between Jacoby transfers and Stayman –; Stayman is almost always based on invitational values or better.
		Jacoby transfers, on the other hand, can be used on very weak hands with a long suit.
		All of Responder’s possible bids in reply are transfers of one kind or another (and should be alerted as such).

	SSS 4
		Keep Jacoby transfers, but add the redouble as a transfer to 2C, and 2C as a transfer to 2D: you'll be much safer with the doubler leading from his strong hand than with the doubler's partner leading through your partner's strong hand.
		Transfer, opener may ignore the double and make his normal bid, redouble with strength in the doubled suit, or pass with poor support for responder's major.
		The transfer responder, if unwilling to play the doubled contract (or redouble), continues as he would over a simple accept of his transfer, but if he bids his long suit without jumping, he shows a weak hand and wants to play there.

		Texas transfers are used when responder wants to be in game but has no interest in slam.
		The idea behind this convention is similar to that behind Jacoby Transfers- it is better for partner to be declarer rather than dummy since his high cards won't be exposed to the defenders.
		Presupposing the use of Jacoby Transfers, the 2S response to 1NT is no longer needed and can be used to ask opener to bid a four- card minor suit.

	Jacoby For The Minor Suits
		The Jacoby Transfer For The Minor Suits should not be applied after an opening of 2 No Trump or 3 No Trump, since the level of bidding becomes too high to indicate a long and weak Minor suit.
		Using the Jacoby Transfer For The Minor Suits, the responder would first bid 2 Spades to transfer the opener to Clubs.
		Instead of bidding 2 Clubs as a transfer to the Diamond suit, the responder must jump to the three level to accomplish this.

	STANDARD AMERICAN YELLOW CARD (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Jacoby transfers showing a five-card suit are used for the majors: 2D is a transfer to hearts, 2H is a transfer to spades.
		-- 2D = (transfer to hearts) If the opponents bid over your 1NT opener, Stayman and transfers are "off." Bids are natural except for a cuebid, which can be used with game force strength as a substitute for Stayman.
		If responder jumps to 2NT over a 1H or 1 S opening, that is Jacoby 2NT, asking opener to show a singleton or void.

	Super Accepts to Jacoby Transfers
		The responses to a transfer of 2© showing spades are similar.
		You are able to bid many close game contracts that are quite good contracts and that others are doomed by their methods to play in a part-score.
		Nevertheless, SuperAccepts are mainstream among the class of "Flight A" players because they are easy to use, occur a lot, and they have proved their worth, at least to their advocates.

		In Suction Runouts, all bids are usually transfers, but they might also be based on a 2-suited hand with good shape (5-5 or better) with the two suits OTHER than the bid suit and the next higher suit.
		A transfer to a suit that was available at the 2-level is invitational or better; opener accepts the transfer to reject the invitation and bids above that to accept the invitation.
		Jacoby 2NT is for hands without side singletons or voids; Splinters are for hands with those holdings.
