" Two-suiters are awkward 2'
openers because you have taken up
too much space, " wrote Caprera. " I
consider West's hand an absolute
minimum. Playing standard methods,
I believe the auction should go:
2'-2k; 2-3k; 3NT-Pass.
" Neither partner has a reason to bid
again. Both tables went off the reservation.
I agree with North-South not
doubling. Take your plus.
" East's hand is a good example of
why I don't like 2k negative, but if
you do and play 2NT shows hearts,
consider game-ordered rebids by
opener: 3'=k, 3l=, etc. "
