Is this a computer program?
Yes, and a very good one too, so don't listen to people who say it isn't when they don't know it.
However, I'm afraid there may be some confusion here. The program uses "points" to mean HCP + one extra point for every card beyond the fourth in a suit.
When BunnyGo says he would open a hand with only 11 points and 6 clubs, I am pretty sure he means 11 HCP. A hand with 11 HCP and 6 clubs does have at least 13 LTPB-points.
So, the correct answer in the LTPB system is to pass.
As you advance you will discover that there are circumstances in which experienced players will open such a hand 3
♣. However, at this point, I believe it would only confuse you to detail these circumstances. So you really should pass.
