It is my understanding that 2NT shows 12-14 or 18-19 HCP

If 2♦ bidder has 17 pts how should auction proceed???

This my question. Also what should other bidding after the 2NT bid mean?

Thank you

If responder has 17 and opener has 12-14 or 18-19, things are easy.

2/1 bidding here is a natural thing. 3C is a suit, 3D=more diamonds, 3♠ shows a spade fit, and 3NT shows a desire to play in 3NT.

If Responder has something like 2-3-5-3 and 17 HCP, he rebids 3NT ---having figured out that 17 + 14=31. Opener will move over 3NT with 18 or 19.

Easy solution, which is also consistent with the last post. If you are responder just pretend partner has the 12-14 and bid accordingly. If he really has the 18-19 he will let you know.

.... so you bid 3 NT with 12-17 and partner with 12-14 will pass or bid more with 18-19...
If you fear that you will miss a slam opposite 12-14 if you bid 3 NT now, you must consider a stronger move.

I agree your proposal,play 2nt as 12-14 or 18-19hcp.
As to responder have 17pts:
1-if with balanced hand and extra values,you can rebid 4nt for quantitative.
2-if with unbalanced hand,you can rebid 3d with a decent 6 card suit and slammish, or rebid 4 card other suit, or cuebid in advance.
