Deal 4 6NT OL: ♠K	♠ 7 4 2 ♥ A K 3 ♦ A Q 7 4 ♣ K J 3		You have 11 winners; 1 ♠, 2 ♥s, 4 ♦s and 4 ♣s. If you can make a trick with the ♠J all will be well. But if not, as long as West holds the ♠Q, which is almost a certainty, you will be able to squeeze him in ♠s and ♥s. The first thing you should do is to duck the ♠K. If West foolishly plays another ♠ your troubles are over. But he doesn't, he plays the ♥Q instead which you win with dummy's ♥K.  NEXT

Deal 4 6NT OL: ♠K	♠ 7 4 ♥ A 3 ♦ A Q 7 4 ♣ K J 3		Even though West didn't play a second ♠ your first round duck served a very important purpose - it rectified the count for your squeeze. Next play off your 4 ♦ winners, discarding a small ♥ from your hand.  NEXT

Deal 4 6NT OL: ♠K	♠ 7 4 ♥ A 3 ♦   ♣		Here is the layout after the 3 ♣ plays. Everybody followed suit except West who discarded a ♥ (unhappily, it seemed). When you now play your ♣A, discarding a ♠ from dummy, West is squeezed. If he discards the ♠10, then his ♠Q will fall underneath your ♠A, establishing your ♠J. But if he instead throws the ♥9, both of dummy's ♥s will become winners.  Deal 5
