If
you use Drury, you must respond 1NT on many hands
where
you don't
want to be declarer in notrump. Here,
South would like to
bid a
natural 2 over 1 , and the
auction continues to 3NT, played
by North
with the
hearts protected.
If
you play 1M-2M as constructive (showing a good
raise),
you can
give up Drury. The only drawback is
that you must start
with 1NT with
weaker hands
containing support for partner's major.
An
alternative is to reverse the method. In this
system,
1M-2M shows
a weak raise, and you start
with 1NT with a Drury type
of hand,
planning to jump
to 3 of the major if partner rebids 2
of a minor.
