Raise to 2NT or 3NT? - 2006/07/28 14:42 MP's. Partner opens 1NT (15-17)

I've (S) AKJ (H) Jx (D) J9xxx (C) xxx

I know it is ten points, but it looked impulsively flawed to me. Should I bid 3NT or just 2NT?

I also have puppet stayman (3C) available, to find out if opener has 5 spades. Should I bid which?

re:Raise to 2NT or 3NT? - 2006/07/29 19:45 If 1NT could not have a four card major I think wich 3NT is clear, you've ten points & a five card suit, no matter if which's not a good 5 card suit because we are not really enormously upgrading the hand because of the suit.
Now the use of puppet stayman is realkly annoying because if pd has 5 spadews or even if pd has 5 haerts a game in a major can be better than 3nt.
I can imagine many hands where 4h or 4s are better than 3nt but I think that in average 3nt is a better contract than
4M.
2NT is out of the question we are not here to play part-scores.

re:Raise to 2NT or 3NT? - 2006/07/30 20:23 The original poster said 3C was puppet Stayman. Was that a misprint for 2C? I would probably just blast game myself, but an invitational auction does not seem unreasonable.
