I have already talked about the 2
drury, explaining how this convention develops when
it opens thirds or quarters of the hand and partner says 2, showing fit.
(Editor Note: If you aren’t used to Drury: Drury Convention)
This time I will explain you, in addition to the 2drury, how can be the other answers,
taking into account that you are a passed hand.
When I say “singolo bruttino” I mean a hand with a singleton of about 7/8 points and support at least 4 cards, while “good” means almost opening.
An example of “singolo bruttino” may be, at the opening of 1
, the following hand:
KQxx 
x 
Q109xx xxx
