The KS notes do allow for opener to press on after 1N-2M and I find
the methods described adequate. Minimum flat hands pass. Minimums that
look good for M bid 3M and maximums bid 2N or make a SSGT in the
doubleton.

If you are going to "super-accept" then you are catering for a game when
there is an excellent fit. While opener's showing a weak doubleton will
occasionally help, it's much more useful for O to show where he has
secondary honours that would be wasted opposite a singleton -- an
"anti-splinter". Now the partnership is much better placed to judge if
there is wastage (O has KQx opposite R's singleton) or not. Hands with
no such wastage can rebid 2N.
(Note that this method can be used in many analogous situations; for
more details see my article in The Bridge World, if you've got access to
the June 1997 issue.)
