Is such free psychic bid lawful?

I didn't say that HHx in spades was impossible. I did say that it was rare.

 

Many methods in response to a weak two gear towards finding out:


  1.  
  2. whether there is a side suit honor
  3. in which suit it is

 

Note the use of the singular in the second part. Most weak twos have either 0 or 1 outside honors. It is possible to have 2, but it is so rare that common bidding methods don't allow for it.

 

Here, we are not merely dealing with 2 outside honors (which in itself is rare but not impossible).

 

No, these two honors:

need to be in a three card suit

and

they need to be in spades

and

spades is the suit in which partner just has shown a good suit (presumably headed by a couple of honors and with length)

 

This all together promotes something that is rare by itself to the status of "highly unlikely (but still not impossible)".

 

In short: I would not sit and wait for the occasion of having a weak two with HHx in a suit that my partner has just advertised as a good suit.
