p....p....1....Overcalled with:

_______________________a.- 1
_______________________b.- 2
_______________________c.- 2
_______________________d.- [double]
_______________________e.- 1NT 15-17
_______________________f.- 1NT by passed hand (maybe take out for minors or any other stuff)

? Responder has a Limit raise: heart support good 10 to bad 12


How would you proceed when a "Drury expected secuence" is interfered?

Would you venture with a support cuebid, maybe going too high?
Ambigous double?
Too conservative support? Jump?
Artificial bid?

Ty very much.
Kind Regards,

a) b) and c) should cue bid. If you have a fit so do they, and you won't buy it below 3 anyway, but show your strength so partner can bid game with a little extra. With d) bid 2NT an artificial limit raise, with hand worth a natural 2NT, you can redouble. 2NT can be used similarly in e), you penalty double with a balanced hand in this range. f) depends on exactly what suits are shown, but assuming minors, use whatever defense to two suited interference you use, in most cases you will bid 2 to show a limit raise. Partnership agreement is essential.
If playing with a pickup partner, I would be nervous with any of these bids, and would downgrade a minimum limit raise to a single raise, and just gamble on on game with a maximum limit raise. Crude and you will miss some good games and bid some bad games, but this avoids disastrous misunderstandings. With a pickup partner known to be a good player, I'd be fairly sure he'd understand the cue bid in a) b) and c).
