Is: P-1♠; 1N-2♣; 2N a huge club raise? (you play drury)

2N can be a lot of things, I play it's strong with both minors.
2N in your second auction is as normal, invitational.

I play the first auction 9-11ish with both minors, and the second auction natural. (Max-ish balanced-ish passed hand with stuff in the unbid suits, in a perfect world).

pass - 1M
2NT
Fivecard M, limit hand. We play Drury, don't we?
pass - 1M
1NT - 2♣
2NT
Limit hand, stops in the read suits.
Why make it harder than needed?
With a good club raise I raise clubs.

That shows ♣ for me, as 2♣ is Drury and 3♣ is Gerben (mod. Bergen).

I play the first as clubs. Not sure what's 'best' though.
2nd one is natural. Sure partner could have opened light + unbal, but what am I to do with 10/11 bal now.

If you played the Bridge World Standard of 3NT after a 1M opening as a 5-trump 4M bid with some defense, then why not play the same thing as a passed hand but bid 2NT instead to keep you a level lower?

Reasonable approach, but 3M shows roughly the same thing.
