==Using Jacoby transfers with Stayman== Today, most players use Stayman in conjunction with [[Jacoby transfers]]. With Stayman in effect, the responder practically denies having a five-card major, as otherwise he would transfer to the major immediately. The only exception is when responder has 5-4 in the majors; in that case, he could use Stayman, and in the case of a 2{{diamonds}} response, bid the five-card major at the two level (weakness take-out / Garbage Stayman) or at the three level (forcing to game). However, the latter hand can also be bid by first using a transfer and then showing the second suit naturally. The [[Stayman convention#Smolen convention|Smolen convention]] provides an alternative method to show a five-card major and game-going values. A minor drawback of Jacoby transfers is that a 2{{diamonds}} contract is not possible.
