What I am saying is that you can, for example, play 3red as 5+ GF and X then bid the major as invitational with 5+. Or you could play 3red as 6+ INV+ with X then bid the major as INV with 5 and X then cue as 5 and GF. Whichever way you define the 3red bids, you have additionla hands leftover which can be defined by doubling and then bidding. This allows you to keep your NFB purer, which I think is a good thing, especially in a Precision context.


What is 3red ?

Thinking for 1D (2D) specifically (and other interference similarly)

dbl-takeout, both majors OR invitational values with a major OR GF with a 5-cd major
.....2M-4-cd major
.........OM-5-cd M
.........2N-invitational, 4 OM
2M-NFB, GI with 5 OR constructive with 6
2N-inv
3C-inv
3D-6+ hearts, GI+
3H-6+ spades, GI+
3S-stopper ask/clubs

IMO Both wide ranging NFB and Switch (2H=Spades and 2S = hearts) are superior to a 2new suit forcing(10+).
I like to play that 2M NFB could be pretty wide and opener with decent min and 3 cards support has to raise.

I play NFB no matter what we open (even 15+ 1C) and no matter what they overcall. But over a Str C switch is surely better.

Iplay 2NT and higher as transfers and rubensohl
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

3red means 3 and 3 (3 of a red suit).
