After the opposing double, the conventional bids are:
Bid | Meaning |
---|---|
Pass | Requires partner to make an artificial redouble. Shows any two-suiter (at least 4-4). After partner's redouble, the rebids are very similar to DONT overcalls:
|
Redouble | 5+ clubs. Partner must bid 2. |
2 | 5+ diamonds. Partner must bid 2. |
2 | 5+ hearts. Partner must bid 2. |
2 | 5+ spades. Partner must bid 2. |
2 | Not used. |
After the transfer is completed, it is possible to raise the suit with invitational or game-going values.
Exit transfers are fairly easy to remember, especially if you already play Jacoby transfers. As with all transfer bids, what I like about them is that they allow opener to play the hand to protect his/her tenaces.
Amalya Kearse refers to Exit Transfers in her book "Bridge Conventions Complete" but I cannot find any earlier documentation about them. I'm guessing that they originated in the United States based on their name and close relationship to Jacoby transfers.
