Objectively it would have to be 3.Nc3, but it doesn't stop a lot of people doing well with 3.Nd2. The latter gave me some headaches until I learned the 3...c5 systems, whereas I always felt comfortable with 3.Nc3 Nf6 as Black.

Seems 3. Nc3 is most critical, but the lines of the Winawer Poisoned pawn are so complicated that the practical chances for Black seem huge, whatever the theoretical verdict.
  
Those who want to go by my perverse footsteps play such pawn structure with fuzzy atypical still strategic orientations

Best variation for White

I have recently started playing the French and I am fascinated!

At the same time, I need to know what is the worst case scenario...

Could you please tell me which is the most promising variation (and subvariation) for White even if Black plays perfectly?

Thanks in advance!

Z.
