This is such a good point! Reevaluating your assumptions when partner's bidding or defense turns up something unexpected is super important.

I'm curious, what was Peggy's hand? I wonder how Zach and I would bid it. We play 1C could be short, and when there's interference, we assume the 1C opener has a weak NT, so Texas is on here, 4C is both majors, and so in our system, 4S is the bid showing interest in a club slam.

Good that you have agreements in an auction like this! Making assumptions in an auction where multiple interpretations are reasonable is dangerous with a new partner.

I forget Peggy's exact hand. I was dummy and didn't really want to know what was going on. :) I think she was 4234 or 4324, but she might have been 4315.
