- Compound Squeeze ?

- Drew Casen's bidding problem: AJT AQ9764 --- KJ75
- Ok, David, lemme give it to straight. I bid 6NT at the table over 5D, and partner had something about what I expected, so I made it: KQxxx,x,AKQJx,xx. However, I think I should only bid 5♥, PROMISING A CLUB CONTROL, and INVITING slam. I would need ...

- Doesn't partner need 'a helluva lot' to bid past 4♠ AND even more to bid past 5♥ ? If he bids more than 5♠ after my suggested 5♥ call, it would be his third slam try (4♦,5♦, AND 6♠) with 2 losing ...

- If you bid 3H, how will you show REAL spade support later ?
