Drury

The Drury convention uses an artificial 2C response to find out if the 3rd or 4th hand opening of a major is
"light" or a full openening hand.
In the original version of Drury, a rebid of 2D showed a weak hand.
In reverse Drury, rebidding the major shows a weak hand; any other response shows a full opening.
In the 2-way option, responder differentiates between 3 and 4 card trump support
