Do you see the line for 3N+2?

I think I would be pretty good at bridge if I could see all four hands all the time.

Pitch either heart, simple squeeze.

Right, you could make this even if east had KJ of hearts because you just have a black suit squeeze on west so it's not really that interesting. For full style points pitch the queen of hearts and then later lead small to the ace after west has pitched the jack

[rbforster]

The line at the table was less optimal, perhaps as Mark suggests. A low heart was pitched from dummy at T4, all the tricks were run (eschewing the simple blacks squeeze), and eventually the Q♥ was lead and covered(!) leading to the expected 3N+2 (if not by the double dummy route).

I like the Q♥ pitch at T4 myself.

Correct me if I'm wrong but tossing the ♥Q from the table will lead to:

And no squeeze as East can throw the spade and South is squeezed first.

Sadly you are indeed correct i believe our previous posters had envisioned:

Dealer: ????? Vul: ???? Scoring: Unknown Diamond played for [he] pitch - guard squeeze but noted that you could then simply cash the ace and catch him in a simple black suit squeeze 0 Back to top of the page up there ^ Forum Home Bridge-Related Discussion (not BBO-related)   |-- General Bridge Discussion (not BBO-specific)   |-- Interesting Bridge Hands   |-- Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion   |-- Expert-Class Bridge   |-- Novice and Beginner Forum   |-- Natural Bidding Discussion   |-- Non-Natural System Discussion   |-- Bridge Material Review   |-- Youth Bridge   |-- BBO Juniors   |-- BPO - Bridge Poll Online   |-- Offline Bridge Bridge Base Online Discussion   |-- BBO Announcements and Special Events   |-- General BBO Discussion   |-- BBO Forum Events   |-- Suggestions for the Software   |-- BBO Support Forum   |-- Find a Partner/Teacher!   |-- BBO Tournaments Discussion   |-- BBO Tournament Directors Forum   |-- Vugraph issues   |-- Dealer Scripts   |-- BBO Robot Discussion International Forum   |-- 华人论坛   |-- 华娱世界   |-- Il forum per bridgisti italiani-   |-- Forum pro ceske a slovenske bridzisty   |-- Hungarian Forum   |-- Spanish Forum   |-- Türk oyuncular için Forum   |-- German Forum   |-- Ceske bridzove forum   |-- Dutch Forum   |-- French Forum Off-Topic   |-- The Water Cooler International Bridge Laws Forum (IBLF)   |-- Laws and Rulings   |-- Simple Rulings   |-- Appeals and Appeals Committees   |-- Changing Laws & Regulations ← Previous Topic Interesting Bridge Hands Next Topic → Page 1 of 1 You cannot start a new topic You cannot reply to this topic 1 User(s) are reading this topic 0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users Delete Post Remove From View The post may still be visible to moderators in this topic Reason: Delete From Topic The post will be removed from this topic completely Skin and Language Language: English (USA) Execution Stats Time Now: 2026-Sep-08, 00:55 Back To Top Forum Home Delete My Cookies Mark Board As Read Community Forum Software by IP.Board 3.1.4
