whereagles Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I'll play for a singleton ace of trumps. Ruff two spades high, ruff two clubs high, then play a trump and look closely to opponents reactions in order to guess what to play on the heart return. If at some stage you're overruffed and a trump is played back, there are still some squeeze chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I was going to say im with whereaqles, but lets first check how good his line his.You need A sgl diamond - this is about 30%You also need to get the heart , this is less then 50%.Combining it gives you 15%. You also makes it when the QJ of spade are doublton, i dont know how much it adds but it is certentily less then 10%, als some overruffing should take the chances a bit lower, so you have less then 25% .finding RHO with both spade pictures is 25%, so its better.Going for simple squeeze will be imo less then 25%.So its probebly best to begin with a trump, play 1 more to take them out,and finnese spade twice. i wouldnt play small if LHO wining the A of heart come back with heart, because usually the opponents doesnt give present for no resson.

whereagles Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 QJx of spades is about 9%, I think. That makes both lines more or less the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 hi fly.. draw trumps, trump a club to leave west in charge, play the ♥A, leaving the Q in south (hoping east has K), and run trumps from dummy, hoping both have spades.. what i see is: [hv=n=sxhdxcx&s=skxhqdc]133|200|[/hv] now play the last diamond... have no idea if this works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I see 4 chances.Squeeze, QJ ♠ onside, QJ3rd♠ either hand or singleton trump Ace.I think I'll combine my chances.I like Jimmy's line, so I'll do same. Mike :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Actually i forgot that the anamination play works also for QJX on either hand, that probebly turn the chances in favore of this play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Draw trumps, I'll see what I'll do next, cause you might have to cash in ♥A first, or keep it and cash in ♠AK first... However, I think you might have to ruff 1♠, so don't draw all your trumps just yet, only 4 :D It also depends on what opps play when they have a trick with ♦A...

inquiry Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Several lines suggest themselves. 1) The black suit elimination originally suggested, playing for the hand with the ♦A singleton to be endplayed (and not be able to overruff early and exit other black suit). 2) A simple positional squeeze against WEST, playing him to have ♥K and four cards (or more) in clubs (requires ruffing two spades in hand, and gets lucky if ♠ QJ fall in three rounds. 3) A triple squeeze, playing one player or the other other to hold 4+♠, 4+♣, and the ♥King (requires one black suit ruff in both each hand to isolate the threat. 4) A vienna coupe against EAST, playing him to hold ♥K (or J) and five ♠ or any ♠ length to both ♠QJ. This is the line Jimmy tried for (but his ending can't be right.. he had to ruff two ♣, so dummy would have no ♣ left, and there would be the ♥T in dummy at this point. He showed it as a double squeeze, but that doesn't work because without ruffing the ♣ threat, you only have 10 winners, not the 11 he has shown in his ending. How would I play it, I would start out hoping for mis-defense and win ♣, cross in ♠. and lead a low ♦. I want WEST to think I am trying to trick him in playing low from doubleton king, crashing with his partner's singleton ace. If he thinks this way with ♦Ax, he will play low. When the ♦ holds, I know eliminate the black cards, and thow WEST in I guess. Should they win ♦ and clear ♦, I will go for the positional double squeeze on WEST in clubs and ♥.

flytoox Posted July 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 [hv=n=sxxhatdqjtxxcakxx&w=sjxxhkxxxdcqjtxxx&e=sq9xxhjxxxxdaxxcx&s=saktxhqxdk987xcxx]399|300|[/hv] Looks many ppl would make it at the table. At the table I adopted stripe play, which was unsucessful for the c and d distribution. Knocking out D ace looks a better line, you still keep many chance, you can sqz LHO in C/H, or RHO in S/H.

luke warm Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 you're right ben, the ♥10 is still in my hand and no club... sigh... i saw a squeeze position and by gum i inserted it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 you're right ben, the ♥10 is still in my hand and no club... sigh... i saw a squeeze position and by gum i inserted it ;) :-) Visualization is the key... you visualized a great double squeeze ending. Next, you have to learn to make sure you have the cards to reach the desired ending. I really liked your ending, so did at least ...Trpltrbl.... This is because it is a cute ending, just not possible. ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
