I'm curious what the normal expectancy is for a redouble of a Stayman or Jacoby Transfer. Any thoughts here? Any changes if 3-level?

I'm surprised the other posters play this as natural, especially Jacoby. I thought this was near-universaly played as a tool to get the contract in partner's hand. As for Stayman, some would play it as natural, though.

Maybe I should stop reading Dutch magazines, they obviously have an obcesion with wicked conventions that nobody play on BBO :blink:

Doesn't say anything about a 4 card major (in a Stayman auction) or 3 pieces (in a transfer auction), although this may not be a universal sentiment.

I don't know what it shows over a 3 level call. The meanings of 1N - 3x vary greatly, so I'm hesitant to label the redouble as something specific.

I think the "3-level" refered to Stayman/Jacoby after a 2N opening.

After transfers at 2 level I play the following:
pass = 2 card M
RDbl = 3 card M fit, trying to rightside the contract (usually A, nothing or Kxx(+))
2M = 3 card M fit, trying to rightside the contract

There's no money in writing the same things over and over again.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

XX of Stayman show a strong 4-card suit or 5.
XX of Jacoby show 3+ in suit transfered to and a holding in RHO's suit that suggest it's better for partner to declare, that is xx/xxx/Ax/Axx. Pass showing a doubleton in parther's suit.
Kind regards,
Harald
