Teams, NV/NV.

You pass, lefty opens 1NT (15-17), partner doubles showing a single-suited hand, righty bids 2 (transfer), duly completed by lefty and passed back to you.

You have Jx and no singleton or void. What else, if anything, do you want to know about your hand to decide whether to balance?

Does "single suited" mean either 5 or 6+ cards? If the latter then do I have 2+ and 3+ of both minors?

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

The only other thing needed apart from Jx in hearts are the remaining 11 cards.
