MFA Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Could partner really have a transfer-to-♥ hand? Wouldn't that be a hand that would have opened 2♥? However, if his style is not to open a weak 2 with a side 4-card major, he could be 4=6 in ♥=♦, which would have passed on the 1st round.Some of us do have standards for a vulnerable 2♥ opening, so we might easlily have a bad 6-card suit and want to play 4♥.

Suppose you held: x xxxxxx KJx QTx or say Q xxxxxxx Kx xxx. Would you open 2♥ or 3♥? Wouldn't you want to compete in hearts now? Of course, if you are sure that 4♥ is natural (and I think it would be), then that is the reason partner cannot have a "transfer to ♥ hand."
