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.

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
