Since I am unlikely to be able to show every feature of my hand after 2C, I will open 1D.
If Hearts and Diamonds were swapped, it would make it closer.

Easy 1D opening
2C openings should be avoided with 2 suited hands.

I posted a similar hand last week, and there the general response was 1D (also my opinion), so here again 1D...

I open 2C because otherwise could play cold game in 1D.

Actually if you play Kokish over 2
2 suited hand are no longer a problem, especially with both Majors or Major/Minor.2
- 2 2
- 2 (forced)2 NT = 25-26 HCP
3 Minor =
and bid minor 2 suiter3 Major = Major bid
3 NT = 5/5 minors with short in

2 - 2
2 - 2 NT (forced)
3 Minor = and bid minor 2 suiter
3 = Major 2 suiter
3 =
3 NT = 5/5 minors with short in
With 6-5 in minors you bid 6 card first and next bid is your 5 card minor, but this will force you already to the 4 level. Good thing these hands don't come up to often
but I treat them almost always as 5-5 in minors, unless very strong 6-5's or better.

1D opening, If partner has anythin resembling an hand they will bid. 5 count with a major pard should say something. if they have nothing you could struggle to make 3 Diamonds.
Just my 2 cents on this
