I generally let people have the benefit of the doubt, and not sure I filled a player memo yet, even once, but after today I just want to run a sanity check. At round 6 of a typical sectional my partner (not Jim!!) and I encountered the following auction:
3C was puppet.
We were NS. They were making 4♠ actually, but getting to spades at all was worth a lot. When I asked what would happen if E answered 3♥, west said "I would bid 4♦, that would be non forcing" - at which point E quickly asked to stop speculating on auctions that did not happen....EW are not beginners, but not experts either.
How funny was that?
