Mike asks about the auction, playing a 2/1 style with weak 1N opening bids

My preferences
Over 3... 1: 3 (F1), 2: Double, 3: 4 (Choose M).
After 3, over 5... 1: 5, 2: Double, 3: 5N (Pick a slam).
After Double, over 5... 1: 5N, 2: Double, 3: 6.

possible bid discussion :

3 - you must have one spade more and one h less
DBL - you must have at least one card major less, 44,45 or 54 on majors --> 4(5) , 4(5) , 1(0,2) , 4(3,5)
4 - 5+5+ majors, best bid i think
5 - is exlusion , not majors (5 cards+ and void)
5nt - i think u must have 5 cards
6 - majors , but can't play more than that (good bid)

I would expect modern players to use 5NT as pick-a-slam, even in this auction. I don't think that I'd use it though, because I am not sure what partner would expect.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
