Partner and I had a misunderstanding in an online game. 1c-p-1h-2s(weak)-3s. 3s by opener is, of course, forcing. Opener considered it a splinter, while responder thought it was Western cue, asking for a spade stopper. Responder bid 3nt (4 spades with JS). Opener then bid 4H, which was passed.
It made 4H, although double dummy was 5H. No harm, but we wonder whether the 3s bid should be better played as splinter or Western cue. Given the actual bidding, should responder reconsider after the 4H bid?
