Basically never open 2 with a 2 or 3 suiter hand. Shapes like 5440, 5-5, 6-5 etc. For example In the below hand, take a small risk, open 1. If it doesn't get passed out, you're in a much better position to bid your hand naturally, for example

You've bid your 6-5 shape already by making 3 bids by the time you hit the 3 level, and you've shown a forcing strong hand. Whereas if you open 2, your first natural bid will be on the 3 level! You will never have the room to show this hand.
