Weak 2 Opening

The requirement for an opening weak 2 bid is 6 - 10 points and a 6 card suit.
2 No Trump is an artificial bid asking more about the opener's hand.
One method shows a feature (Ace or King) outside the trump suit;
the other method, called Ogust, describes the hand in steps.

The raise of a weak 2 bid is preemptive while other bids are forcing.
The acronym RONF (Raise only non force) is used to remember this.
