Transfer and pass. Vul and form of scoring would be good to know but I doubt they would affect my choice.

I still always transfer (and pass), but I'm keeping an open mind about passing 1n more. On the other hand, especially at imps, the chance of getting to a game if partner superaccepts is important.

I always transfer with a 5+ major too regardless of hand.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

If I transferred and partner super accepted I'd bid game, ergo I transfer.

So are there any hands where you have a 5cM and you don't transfer? Just wondering.

If I were to ever pick up QT9 65432 QT9 QT I am sure I would pass. Where do I draw the line? I don't know, I don't remember ever passing in real life, maybe I have once.

Does that mean that if I changed the hand so that it was just too weak to bid game opposite a superaccept, you would pass 1NT?

Personally I always transfer on these hands, because if it's too weak to contemplate game, it's also too weak to want to play 1NT. It also saves having to think.

Edit: I see that my question has already been asked and answered.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

It just feels like the game type is terribly significant here. At MP a strong argument can be made for pass but at IMPs possibly missing a ♥ game could be a substantial loss.

Transfer?

If he superaccepts, I will bid game, otherwise we play 2H.
