The most common usage is against strong Club systems such as Precision.
These are direct overcalls of any strong 1♣! openings:
Double Shows a Heart suit. 5+ cards
1♦
Shows a Spade suit. 5+ cards
The next three are CRM style:
1♥
Shows two suits, either both red
or both black 4-4 or better
1♠
Shows two suits, either both
Majors or both minors 4-4 or better
1NT
Shows either Clubs & Hearts OR
Diamonds & Spades 4-4 or better
The next four bids show either a 6 card in the NEXT suit OR both the two suits after that:
2♣
Shows 6+ Diamonds OR both Majors 5-5
2♦
Shows 6+ Hearts OR both black
suits 5-5
2♥
Shows 6+ Spades OR both minors
5-5
2NT
Shows 6+ Clubs OR both red suits 5-5
Other bids are found in other texts but the above is sufficient.
In all of the above responder relays with the next suit - If and only if the RHO passes
