B1 I thought 4H was automatic, I'm worried that someone is going to bid spades and ruin my day. B4 I too chose to defend for a lousy score too. B5 won HK. SK taken by ace, diamond switch, taken by DK, S6 back, taken, force out DA, win spade return (needs to be a heart or club to break the squeeze up here), cash diam and spade discarding a club from dummy to leave the same squeeze position on East. B6 Great squeeze but I don't see the need to switch to trumps? I continued with the force. B8 I made the raise and paid for it.
The worry about spades is a good point and probably why I raised on board 1 but not board 8. B6 I we aren't really going to force them properly, I don't think there is any real need to switch to trumps but I didn't see any harm. Looking at all 4 hands I still find it hard to see the harm.
Great commentary, Pete, really enjoy listening to your thoughts on these hands. Interesting set.
Thanks Paul - as long as you guys keep liking the stuff I am going to keep making it.
why do you get the robot who doesn't know how to reopen with a double, and not the one who can pull off a crisscross squeeze?
haha I wish I knew.
