I'd expect a lot of people who play 5 card majors and Drury to open 1 ♥ on this hand in 3rd seat.

Personally, I'd either pass or bid 2 ♥ on this hand in 3rd seat despite the top 3 0f 5 agreement. While I can understand such an agreement in 1st or 2nd seat, but in 3rd seat you need a little more freedom to obstruct the opponents.

With the intermediate partner described, I'd pass for sure. Over a non-forcing 2 ♦ response things could get ugly. Sometimes it's better to just avoid stepping into it.

Ill apply a little pressure with 2♥. If 2 ♠ comes back to me i would not recompete with 3 ♣.

Doesn't a rebid of 2♥ promise a 6+ suit(?) I only see 5 :(


In Acol the rebid of 2♥ promises 6 or 4 cards in one of the "skipped" suits
So 1♥ 1♠ 2♥ 6 carder always.
Whereas 1♥ 2♦ 2♥ can be 5-4
