Attacking 2 space base

Hi. I always have trouble attacking a group that has a 2 space base. Even when he’s undercut on both sides, I always have troubles profiting from it. I created a fake example just to show the shape. What are some standard continuations? Opponents always ignore whatever I do and i never am able to take profit so its just meh for me.

Btw, I’m currently 12k on here! And yah i’m talking about the 2 white stones on the left. And for instance, even if I had another move at b13 for instance, i still dont know where to play

I like a shoulder hit at d10 here to start

Black’s so strong around that you have a lot of good options. If you decide you want influence, a shoulder hit would work. Both D10 and D11 seem good. If you’d rather attack, there is a well known base-stealing tesuji on the second line at B11. But maybe my favorite move is the attachment at C11. White could try linking under or over, and both should give black a good result. Of course you can always tenuki too.
