IMHO 2c reverse drury (3+ support and invitational) is a must over 3rd
seat openers because of the need to show support right away. I know Jordan
2n is popular but since 3rd seat is more likely to be "light" than
anywhere else it seems a shame to have to go to the 3 level. The 2N bid has
the benefit of being preemptive but I am not convinced the benefit outweighs
the risk of getting overboard and the loss of 2c is a small price to pay
since the odds of p really needing that 2c bid are dramatically reduced
since they could not bid 3c in first chair. Support with support is very
important but there is no sense in getting too high to do it. I would
save the 2n bid for the minors rather than Jordan.

It never occured to me to use 2NT in that position to show the minors. Interesting. i doubt it would find frequent usage, but when it comes up ...
I certainly agree with the usefulness of Drury.
