Another poll about Basic Precision, not as you play it with your regular p but as you would play it with a pick-up p.
The classic books (Wei, Goren, Reese) do not say much about how to create a GF after an opening of 1♥/1♠ (or 1♦). Presumably, the forcing character of many calls were lower than in moder bidding theory (this applies to contemporary standard systems as well).
While standard systems have evolved towards 2/1 GF in the meantime, it is not obvious that this should also apply to Precision, since the openings are probably lighter. Anyway, maybe you prefer (or find it more realistic) to play more classic treatments with a pick-up partner.
Some of the auctions which I'm not sure about (forcing or not?):
1♠-2♣
3♣*
1♠-2♣
2NT* (since we play 13-15 NT this could be interpreted as 10-12 but maybe we don't open 1NT with a five-card major)
1♠-2♣
2♦-3♦*
1♠-2♣
2♠*-2NT*
This is somewhat related to (non?)-forcing 1NT response and the meaning of jump shifts, but let's start with the 2/1 responses.

I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

original precision played 1M-1NT forcing 1 round, limit major raises (3NT forcing raise), inverted diamond raises, strong jump-shifts, and 1X- 2NT = Baron 2NT (16+). It also used 2-way (2-wei) stayman.
2/1 was not GF.
