Drury allows responding partner to learn if his opening partner has opened with a normal opening hand or has a light opening hand. If it is a light hand, or even a minimum normal opening hand, the contract can be set at the two-level, whereas non-Drury partnerships, with the same hands, would have to sign off at greater risk at the three-level.
