Two Way Reverse Drury Flashcards
Two Way Reverse Drury; why do we use it?
When your partner has passed and you open light, the problem is figuring out the values of both hands. So imagine P P 1H (or 1S)….the question is if this a light hand or a real opening value hand.
What is the Two Way Reverse Drury solution?
Responder bids 2C or 2D after a third or fourth seat 1H or 1S.
2C shows 3 card support (with 9-11 HCP)
2D shows 4 card support. (with 9-11 HCP)
P, P, 1H, P
2C (reverse Drury) with a hand like;

Or 2D with 43 AQ98 Q864 J62
After the Reverse Drury 2C bid the opener clarifies his/he hand by…..
Rebidding his/her suit = not interested in game
Jump to 3NT = 15-16 HCP and gives responder a choice of which game to play
OR Shows a Help Suit! (more on that later)
After
P, P 1H, P
2C, P
What do you do holding this?

Bid 3C; it a Help suit. The Help suit is the cheapest/lowest suit that you want some help with…and partner responses positively if they have an honor in that suit (with hopefully 3 card support).
NEED TO REVIEW THIS CARD for accuracy
If responder bids 3H then bid 4H (no help)
If responder bids 4H (they have help) then bid 4NT (Blackwood).
The bidding has gone pass (you), pass, and partner opens 1H. What do you do with this hand?

4S. The 2D rebid shows a hand that partner would have opened in any position and is asking for help in that suit. If yes, jump to 4H giving partner a choice of hearts or spades, if not bid 3S ior 4S ends all bidding.
The bidding has gone pass, pass, you open and 1H then P. Partner bids 2C then pass. What do you now do?
