Years ago, Drury (2 response to a third-hand
major-suit opening) showed either support for
partner's major or a natural club suit. In more
recent times, it was changed. Most people today
play that the 2 bid promises support and you
must make a different bid with clubs. Some would
bid 3 with today's West hand, some would bid
1NT. Neither of these bids is particularly appealing.

Consider playing old-fashioned Drury. Opener's
2 rebid shows a minimum or subminimum
opening bid, and if responder has support, he
shows it on the next round.
