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


Scoring: IMP


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

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

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.

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.
