This is the only hand so far not from my collection of hands. I ran across this one and thought, ok here is one.....

You reach 6♠, no opposition bidding.

Opening lead ♣4

Either/Or (1 v. 5)?

I'd just cash three tricks and take the ♦ finesse.

Pretty deep game to play for RHO to hold Qx Qxxx QJxx Kxx and pseudo-squeeze him when you strand the ♥AK.

Anyways, I'm not a master of pesudo squeezes so someone will probably tell me that this wouldn't even work. Furthermore, can't they tell my shape (somewhat) from the bidding at this point?

No, you got it right. This is (imho) a 1.0 or 1.5. In 100's of slam hands I have in my play files, I don't think I have any 1.0's. So when I stumbled across this one, I thought, hey, why not post it....

The full hand was something like this....
