Partner opens a weak NT. What's your plan? Inviting, scientifically blasting 3NT or even passing? Does it depend on the form of scoring or the vulnerabililty? Level of the field you are playing in at MP's?

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?

Suppose your partner opens 1S in 3rd seat, & suppose your partnbership uses
Drury (or reverse Drury, or two way Drury) to "field" a possible light opener.

What do you do if RHO intervenes with eg 2H?

1) bid as if partner had a full opener
2) bid as if partner had a light opener
3) use X to show support for patrner in a "Drury" hand
4) something else

Hi Guys, any one gotten a good way of handlking this combination after partner opens 1nt.
With a weak hand or invite, not much problem with a strong hand.
