Forum Question 27 - Response to Jacoby 2NT

Is this opener’s hand and you are asking about opener’s rebid? The right action depends upon your methods. With my most regular partner we only show a second suit if it has two of the top three honours in it, so that would exclude 3H. If you play that you show a singleton, that would exclude everything apart from spade bids. Since you have only 12 HCP, you might jump to 4S to show you are minimum - but partner is never going to think you have three aces if you do that. A waiting bid of 3S seems the most likely action but as I say without knowing your methods it is difficult to say for sure.
