I recently had a short bridge article about 3rd and 4th seat openings arrive on my Facebook feed. It seemed like a good topic for BBF so here are some of the hands:

At vulnerable I'd bid 1H; NV I'm going with two.

2♥ despite the 5332 shape. 1♥ lets the opponents overcall too easily.

Just 1 for me, I don't like 2H with this kind of hand.

To some extent, bidding agreements can impact what you do with this hand. I would expect those who play Drury to open 1 ♥ a great deal of the time because you have a mechanism to stop at low level in a ♥ fit. If you don't play Drury, the hand becomes more problematic.

opening light in 3rd seat is mandatory in modern bridge. Obviously, Drury is a MUST facing a M opening bid. Also, you have to be able to pass ANY response by partner.
Here i would open 1♥ because i have 3 spades and can pass a 1sp response. If only 2sp, then i wad consider 2♥.
