--- Size Asking Minor Suit Stayman
2!S asks for TOP of range and shows !C or balanced -- Ask yourself, do I want to be in game opposite 8 HCP?
2N is a conditional transfer to !D. You should accept the transfer with better !D than !C; otherwise, bid 3!C.
With a balanced hand, repeated asking bids of 4N and 5N are invites to 6N and 7N.
The opener should treat these as 'Pick a Slam'.
