Question: The 2nd bid by West is probably wrong because there are only 5 spades instead of 6. West knows E/W has enough points for game. Should West just bid 3NT as the second bid because West does not have a second suit to determine whether East has Spades to support the Jacoby spade transfer?
Vic:
Yes, you are exactly right. The second bid by West should be 3NT. If East has more than two spades, they can correct to 4S (if they wish to do so).
Holding only 8-9 points
(enough to only "invite" game), the second bid by West should be 2NT.
If East does not want to go to game, but has more than two spades, they can
correct to 3S (if they wish to do so).
