Since you stated that West will win your Queen of diamonds and return a Spade you will be able to play for the 3-3 diamond without going down immediately. So I play a D to King and back to Q and Ace. Win Ace of spades, play two high hearts ending in dummy cash Q of spades and take stock Now have to guess clubs or guess that a squeeze has worked have to be at table to decide

Squeeze?

There is a chance of a common triple show-up squeeze when East is 2344 with, say, T8 Qxx T98x xxxx. The position will reveal itself fairly naturally in the five-card ending without great card reading required.

This assumes they lead 4th from 6 (though in true 3rd/5th I believe 3rd from 6 is correct when affordable).

West is also tripled when he started with that shape. If he ducks two diamonds we have to cash the third spade.

You are playing a weak NT system, so N is either unbalanced, or 15-17 (or 18-19) balanced. Opponents lead the 4, playing UDCA, 3/5 leads; W follows with the T of spades to the first trick. If you lead toward the Q of diamonds at any point, or lead the Q of diamonds from the board, W takes his ace & returns a spade. E plays the T on the first round of diamonds.


Win with the Ace and play Q. Win the next spade and play a top diamond. If he follows and play another one. If are 4-2 then to the 10.

Final ending: K Kx x against Axx x - automatic double squeez when I play to the king and cash K.

If are 5-1 that doesnt change anything. Play club to the 10 cash and at the end they are squeezed again.

Also it will be a good idea to keep an accurate count and see whether at the end E left singleton club and doubleton honour so that u finess him - discard the 10 on the .

On the actual hand there is no winning line of play (W has Tx Jx Axxxx Jxxx).

Not quite best. Cash the third spade first. When West shows out, if diamonds were 4-2, you can and should reevaluate and go for the triple squeeze. You can still play the other squeeze line (catering for 5-2 clubs onside) if West follows to the third spade.
