Deal 6 6♦ OL: ♥K	♠ Q 5 2 ♥ A 8 2 ♦ Q 8 6 4 ♣ K Q 2		You have 11 winners; 1 ♠, 1 ♥, 6 ♦s and 3 ♣s. At first things look hopeless, but remember this is a lesson on squeeze plays. From the opening lead you know that West must hold the ♥Q. If he also holds the ♠K you will be able to squeeze him in ♥s and ♠s. You let the ♥K win, (hoping he will play another ♥), but he plays a small trump instead which you win in your hand.  NEXT

Deal 6 6♦ OL: ♥K	♠ Q ♥ A 8 ♦   ♣		West could afford to throw 2 ♠s and a ♥ on your ♦ plays. But when you play the ♦7 he is squeezed. He cannot dump his ♠K because you would throw the ♥8 and dummy would be high. So he will discard the ♥10 instead. At this point you know that the ♠Q is worthless so you discard it. You win the final two tricks with the ♥A and ♥J.  Deal 7
