IS the 2NT not 18-19 balanced? Opposite as little as 5 hcp, making it forcing seems a bit much. So what is it then?

I was the only one I knew who played it as forcing, normally balanced but not always.

Hi,

I played it as well, but I decided with partner,
that we drop it, to be better in sync with the
field.

I think it makes perfect sense, to play 2NT as
GF, it frees certain auction and the only price you
pay, is stopping in 2NT.
... Sharpens your declarer play, if you regular play
thin 3NT contracts.

Marlowe
With kind regards
