South African Texas Transfer is a convention. This convention is alertable. South African Texas Transfer is a convention used after a 1NT or 2NT openings: 1NT/2NT - * 4♣: transfer to 4♥ * 4♦: transfer to 4♠ * 4♥/4♠: preemptive and to play. Now, there are three ways to arrive at 4♥ or 4♠: * Using Jacoby transfer to show a hand with slam interest; * Using South African Texas Transfer to show an intermediate hand just enough for game; * Bid directly to show a weak hand with a long major. The drawback is the loss of Gerber.
