Bidding After 1NT Opener Responds 2 Diamonds to our Stayman Bid

This post will help practice what to do after our Partner opens 1NT, we respond 2♣ (Stayman) and Partner then responds 2 (I do NOT have a 4 card major).

If you are not sure what Stayman is, please check out the previous Stayman posts before reading this one:
Introducing Stayman
Responding to Stayman

This post combines several posts together. To look at the different responses individually, read the following posts:
Bidding After 1NT Opener Responds 2 Diamonds to our Stayman Bid and we have Invitational Values
Bidding After 1NT Opener Responds 2 Diamonds to our Stayman Bid and we have Game or Slam Forcing Values

Summary that states your only possible responses in NT when Partner responds 2 to your 2♣ Stayman bid:
Bid What the bid means
2NT Partner I have about 8 or 9 points and at least one 4 card major.
3NT Partner I have about 10 to 15 points and at least one 4 card major.
4NT Partner I have about 16 or 17 points and at least one 4 card major.
5NT Partner I have about 20 or 21 points and at least one 4 card major.
6NT Partner I have about 18 or 19 points and at least one 4 card major.
7NT Partner I have at least 22 points and at least one 4 card major.

Notice that these bids are the exact same as they would be if Partner opened the bidding 1NT and you had a balanced hand with no 4 card major. You show the same hand but when you go through Stayman Partner now knows you have at least one 4 card major. (This doesn't actually matter since the 1NT bidder denied having one with the 2 bid.)

So on ALL these hands Partner opened the bidding 1NT (15-17). You decided to bid 2♣ (Stayman). Partner then responded with 2. That response says that Partner has NO 4 card major. It says nothing else about Partner's hand. With that in mind it is your turn to bid. What will you respond?
