The Weak Two Convention is a strain/fit finding convention. It's intent is to open a partnership's bidding with a six card strain of either diamonds, hearts or spades that has 6-11 bona fide pts. with at least 6 hcpts. in the strain.

- with 11-13 pts. and 3+ card support, raise preempt two level opening bid to the three level.
- with 14-19 pts. and 2+ card support, acknowledge preempt two level opening major bid by bidding an artificial 2NT.
- with 14-19 pts. and 3+ card support, acknowledge preempt two level diamond opening bid by bidding an artificial 2NT.
- with 14-19 pts. and a five card major, bid the major at the two level. If hearts can't be bid at the two level, bid an artificial 3C's.

For most, 11HCP and even 10 is too many to open a weak two, and 6 is too high a minimum at certain vulnerabilities. 6 HCP in the suit, if it was ever a requirement, probably fell out of favour a little before humans first wandered out of Africa and spread to the other continents.

I can find nothing to say about your response structure. In the words of physicist Wolfgang Pauli, it is not even wrong.

Why do you present your vague impressions of conventions instead of asking what better players do or think is best? Are you even trying to learn?

In any case, please stop, because beginners or intermediates might read your posts and think that you are giving accurate information.

According to the copyright notice it's three years old already. Maybe people are already playing this Weak Two Convention in some part of the world by now. I presume the original publication also covered how to count points as well, because that's unclear from this post.
