No matter what anyone says, the days of living or dying by the call are ending. We need to get the call right, even if it means going to our partner...but with all that said, there are situations when you won't go for help. Your partner should have been looking at the play also, and if he had a better angle he should have communicated that to you. When I see my partner out of position and I have good position on the play I will indicate to him that I have something that might help him make the correct call, if he needs help. I try to protect my partner, especially an inexperienced one. It's all about team work, communication and getting the call right.

Agree with that and especially the part about it being more important to get the call right than die by your call -- and glad to see it happening. Its stressed in our local fed association (and ASA which is basically many of the same people). Its fine to go for help, but team work is the essential part of that.
