Intresting hand play

Interesting hand, but I am not sure if your partner took the best line.

 

Not saying that this is better, but I would probably play K on trick 1 (i.e win in hand), AK, to A and Q, covered and J. If the T falls, I can throw a spade on the 3rd club. If the T does not fall, throw the 9 on the 3rd club and ruff a . If 3-3 I make it, otherwise, I can (probably, depending on East) still play to squeeze West in the spades and diamonds.

Yeah this was a really bad line. Why would you play a diamond to the jack if you are planning to try and squeeze west? This way you get to go down if LHO has KT of diamonds and 5 spades.

 

If you are not trying to squeeze west and want to try an endplay then you should strip out the spades in case RHO has 3 spades and the DT and is endplayed.

 

And the squeeze is a bad line anyways because if LHO has 5 spades they are unlikely to have 4 diamonds, and if they have Kxx you can just ruff out diamonds, and if they have Kx then it's coming down anyways.
