Benjamin Twos are Bridge opening conventions. They cover all opening two bids in suit; 2♣, 2 ♦, 2 ♥ and 2 ♠. Of these opening bids, the 2 ♣ and 2 ♦ are strong opening bids, without a necessary connection to the suit bid whilst 2 ♥ and 2 ♠ are weak, preemptive bids indicating a six good cards ♥ or ♠ hand without much strength in the other suits. Typically the hand isn't fit for a normal 1 ♥ or 1 ♠ opening. But weak (or preemptive) opening bids at the second level are in common use in most natural bidding systems today. Equally, the 2 ♣ opening bid, has been reserved for the very strong opening hands.

Equally, the 2 ♣ opening bid, has been reserved for the very strong opening hands. It's the approach to both the 2 ♣ and 2 ♦ openings that stands out in this opening convention. Where the 2 ♣ opening bid still is strong and showing a so far unknown strong 6-card suit, with limits in HCPs around 17-23. And the 2 ♦ openings is used for all distributions from around 24 HCP. In other words and as opening bids at the second level, both minors are used to show two different levels of strength. (en)
