crubs is a suit that can't get no love from me
hanging by the spade suit's reign as the weakest strain, trying to holla at me

On the second hand, I was declaring 3N. Defense took two tricks, then I claimed the balance. A recount of my top tricks showed that I only had 10. Then I asked, "Red suit squeeze?" The squeeze was on. How many tricks am I entitled to?

You duck the diamond, overtaken by RHO's K. RHO continues another high diamond. It looks like they are 5-2.

You win the 2nd round in dummy, then take a winning club finesse. Now what?
