Of course if partner alerts 3♣ you will pretend you were playing Puppet Stayman all along... I know that is not ethical, but it's gonna happen.

Speak for yourself.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Okay, probably not you doing this, and I can say for me for sure not. But someone is going to do it. And how are you going to catch it? Are you always going to ask 2NT Pass 3♣ alerted? What about on other tables?

Anyway, I prefer playing with screens and not have to face these kinds of problems.

Speak for yourself.

Sadly I would say he is speaking for the majority of bridge players. Of course that would drop dramatically the higher level the event/players are.

I once read that 93% of people will steal if they can be certain they won't be caught, but that almost the same percentage believe THEY would never steal.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
