IMP's

Vulnerable vs. Not-Vul

Partner, in 2nd seat opens 1NT (SAYC so 15-17).

What do you respond, with the condition it be a "Correct SAYC" auction? :blink:



Thanks!

I think you're only supposed to play in 3NT over 4M with extra HCPs in matchpoints.

If you don't transfer to spades, you don't give yourself the chance to find a slam if partner breaks the transfer.

It might be worth including Stayman as an option. Golden mean fallacy? Never heard of it.

This.

I absolutely transfer with this hand.
Why give up on a potential 9 card fit (or even 10)?
Why give up on exploring slam were opener to super-accept?

Would be shocked to see any other answer. :blink:

Transfer, followed by 3NT.

If you hit partner with a super accept, than 6S is a real option.
