Minimum two suiter
Two-suiters
A hand is a two-suiter if it contains: one suit of at least 5 cards and another of at least 4 cardsTo describe his two-suiter, the Opener must bid his second suit at the 2 level .
There are three types of two-suiters:
The minimum two-suiter, non-forcing with 12-17HCP. This allows the Responder to stay at the two level when bidding the opening suit.
The reverse, forcing for a round with 18HCP or more. The second suit, bid at level 2, is higher-ranking than the first. The Responder is thus obliged to jump a level to return to the opening suit.
The jump reverse, game-forcing, as from about 20HCP.

Problem E1212 1 ♠ The opener bids a second suit, not a two-suiter. The Responder can't know there are five diamonds.
Minimum two suiter
- Non-forcing minimum 2-suiter with 12-17HCP. This allows the Responder to stay at the 2 level, by rebidding the opening suit.
- Minimum 2-suiter, as with all 2-suiters this needs a 5 card suit and a 4 card suit.Hands that have 2 suits with 4 cards aren't 2-suiter hands, but regular distribution hands.
- Be Careful Assess you hand well, because your P can pass on this rebid !

Problem E1195 2 ♣ A minimum two-suiter. The Responder can return to diamonds (the opener's first suit) at the 2 level.
Important !!!
Your strength doesn't always allow you to bid your two-suiter, especially when your 5 carder is a minor suit and not a major suit... Don't lull your Partner into a false understanding about the strength of your hand.
