Could opener not be tempted to open 2NT with 20 HCP inspite of 2 d'btons as honours in both are held & contract may veer towards 6N which does not make with H ace & diamond length with East? Or would dealer still do Stayman with 11 HCP but with both majors?
Hi Yes, 2NT could easily be opened, as you say, both doubletons are honours in the 5-4-2-2 shape. Dealer would still use Stayman, and the heart contract would be reached. Cheers
