M2-5. Bridge: Jacoby Transfer
February 14, 2017 - 1:00-3:00 pm
Description: Why use Jacoby Transfers? One reason is so that the stronger Notrump hand becomes the declarer. Thus their hand is not put down as dummy for everyone to see and make leads through that can hurt your side. When the stronger hand is hidden, their honor cards are less vulnerable to attack so declarer is more likely to win tricks with them. This clinic will teach participants how to implement a Jacoby Transfer, one of the simplest of the transfer bids. Participants are expected to already have a firm grasp of Bridge basics.
