Stefan_O Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 GIB executed this endplay in the Daylong yesterday: [hv=pc=n&s=sq8h6dcj62&w=shq97dct93&n=shk42dcak7&e=shajtdcq84]399|300[/hv] In a ♠ contract, South is on lead and wins 5 of the 6 remaining tricks.

ahydra Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Just a regular squeeze-endplay (strip squeeze) on East? Either he gives up his club or gets endplayed with the bare HA to lead from CQ. ahydra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Looks like a pretty standard trump squeeze on East. Lead a trump and discard ♣7 from dummy. If East pitches a club, ♣AK sets up the jack. If East pitches a heart, a heart is ducked, and a heart ruff sets up the king and you have a club entry to cash the heart. Any reason to play this way and not just lead up to the ♥K? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Badger Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I agree with both ahydra and johnu that it's either a strip squeeze, or a trump squeeze depending on how you play. Two for the price of one: now that's a Bargain Squeeze :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
