all 4 players are frequent partners with each other. Each partnership plays the 2♦ overcall of 1♣ to be Michaels (2♣ would be natural). 2♦ was alerted, south said “Michaels?” I confirmed. 3♠ making was a top for EW. North contends that East took advantage of the alert and should have bid 3 or 4 spades immediately over the double Even though West was a passed hand and NS clearly have a majority of the HCP. East clearly had a senior moment and forgot our agreement. Did she take advantage of it or did it just fall into her lap? In either case it’s a rather epic fix for NS
