sceptic Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Hi all, Merry Xmas. I do not care about the bidding that is another issue I don't care about the play. I just want to know if my analysis was right or flawed. here is the hand [hv=d=s&v=a&n=sa9752ha9dj43cqt3&w=skqjh43daq952ckj2&e=shkqj87652d8ca975&s=st8643htdkt76c864]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] West North East South - - - Pass 1NT Pass 2♦ Pass 2♥ Pass 4NT Pass 5♦ Pass 6♥ Pass Pass Pass We recieved a A heart lead follwed by a second heart. I realsise A spade lead and we are home and dry for 12 tricks. So here goes, my theory on how to make this. Blue is correct as both Club and spade guard are with RHO Loser count can be correct by pushing out the A hearts early in play using the K spades and a small club I can have losers in both hand and enrties to both hands KS KC JC declarer hand and AC xC xC and E I think I have taken care of and forgot how I did :) also I think on the leads we recieved there ca n be a simple squeeze a guard squeeze , I think a clash squeeze is impossible here any way just want some opinions please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 12 tricks in form of 7♥, 2♠, 1♦, 2♣... just ruff out the ♠Ace. To get to your 11 tricks for the squeeze without ruffing out the spade king, you have to 1) hook the diamond king, and then 2) find club Queen Ten x in the same hand with the spade ACE (since the club threat is the nine in your hand, not the jack in dummy). Blind odds of the squeeze is very low, diamond hook on, and then club QTx and spade ace in the same hand Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 ♠s offer the best chance: 50%. Squeeze needs ♦K onside and other obligations, so the percentage play is play low to ♦A and let the ♠s run (and ruff if the Ace falls), discarding your 2 ♣ losers. ♣K is your second entry to dummy.

Flame Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 It will not work this way since you have another card left, you can take the diamond finnese and then your squeeze will work.Their might be another squeese avaliable, ill think about it later.
