ahydra Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 So I was declaring a very dodgy 5C, but the defence didn't find the trump lead and I was in with a number of chances in this end position (south on lead, needs all the tricks): [hv=pc=n&s=s5hdjc43&w=shdc&n=saj2hqdc&e=shdc]399|300[/hv] The remaining high cards are the ♠KQ, the ♥A and the ♦Q. - If either player holds all 4 of those, he is triple-squeezed. - If West holds the ♥A but East the ♦Q, with the spade honours split there is a double squeeze. - If either player holds both spade honours and the ♦Q he is automatic-squeezed. - Finally, West holding the ♥A and both top spades will be simple-squeezed. All very neat - but unfortunately East had opened 1♥, so he had the ♥A and West the ♦Q, the spade honours were split, and none of the possible squeeze positions worked :( ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahydra Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Indeed. If it was a problem solving hand I would have put it in the I/A forum :) Indeed I have a couple hands from the match that I will post there asking for ATB on when I get back tonight. This one has no problem though - no squeeze works, so down 1, next board and wait a bit longer for my first double or triple squeeze :) ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I would ask for my money back if I were you. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Can you show me all four hands or at least the auction and your both hands? Perhaps there was another squeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
