I hope to get an answer for this. If I hold a hand with 20 points but it's Ace King Queen and Jack in 2 biddable suits, do I still open with 2 no trump, or does it have to be one of the suits. And if my partner also holds a hand with 20 points in Ace King Queen and Jack in the other 2 biddable suits, what should be the correct response on that hand?

9:55 Can it be also said that with 5+ points, respond with 3NT (only if hand is balanced)?

So, to summarize, if my partner opens with 2 NT, I can apply the Stayman at 3erd level ( 3 C - if I have exaclty 4 cards in a major, and a Jacoby transfer at 3rd level ) exaclty like I would respomd to a 1 NT opening but a level up and half of the PO needed for 1 NT response
