I didn't assume it.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

OK, assume for the moment that you're playing with a partner who will not, under any circumstances, play Drury.

I don't see any reason for making such an assumption. My partners have their preferences and can be stubborn at times but are never that stubborn.

I don't think Drury is playable in a 12-14 1NT 4cM context. Responder needs to be able to show a non-fitting (9)10-11 count as distinct from a non-fitting 6-8(9) count.

But maybe Gerben played 14-16 in 3rd seat?

There are some extremely good and successful players (dburn is an obvious example) who refuse to play Drury.

Personally I'm surprised at the strength of feeling this hand is generating. I certainly wouldn't open anything other than 1S, but between 1S and pass I don't think it's a big deal.

Thanks.

I am leaning towards Pass, but if I open, it would be 1S.

With kind regards

I've opened 1♠ with such a hand for as long as I can remember.
Kind regards,
