Partner opens a modern 1♠ 1st seat r/w IMPs.
You can bid 1NT semi-forcing or make a 2/1 GF. What do you do?

We are all connected to each other biologically, to the Earth chemically, and to the rest of the universe atomically.
We're in the universe, and the universe is in us.

I don't know a lot about 2/1, so maybe stupid questions:
Is it standard/common to have 1NT semi-forcing with 2/1?

It is, but you usually have a way to show an invitational hand with 6 of a suit.
We have to live with what KFay plays.

to even CONSIDER starting with semi forcing 1n---yes on rare occassion opener will have a 2 suiter we are in a misfit and we go down but it is FAR more likely we will have excellent play for game opposite a vast majority of 1s opening bids. Pessimism can only be stretched so far:)

So, we switched to 2/1. And people let us call it that, even though the forcing 1NT was a cornerstone and we only make it semi-forcing. Now, when Partner opens 1S we can easily play the hand in 1NT every time we have any hand with less than game force ---even some which have 3-card support. It definitely simplifies our auctions.
Of course, sometimes we can pass 1S without support, a side seven-card suit, and about 6-9 points --knowing that partner didn't open a semi-forcing 2C.

2H as if 6-suit with 7pts?
3H as 6-suit with 9-10?
4H as 6-suit with 11-12?
Which rebid catches 1N 1st back to right level of game invite?
What's wrong with 2H with 6-suit with 12 as GF? What IS minimum GF?
Opener may have misfit 10-12? 3NT fails, pay out!
