Thank you for the excellent presentation! You didn't mention squeezes from the dummy through your right hand opponent. I imagine it's the same POT technique or BLUE (Two Busy menaces, One loser, in Upper hand and Entry)

Thanks for this - quick question, it seems that the probabilities for a squeeze are going to be less than 50% that it works. If there's a choice between a finesse and trying for a squeeze - firstly is this even a situation you can find yourself in? In the absence of any other information (or unless you can infer the finesse more likely to fail), you should always go for the 50:50 play?

So, can we say, sometimes using this technique, we can get better results than double dummy analysis? In the example shown in the video, the double dummy should say 3NT+2 (west discards heart correctly), however, we successfully achieved 3NT+3. Am I correct? Before, I always assume the double dummy analysis is the limit for the declarer. Hope to get answered!

The double dummy analysis is the result achievable by Declarer on perfect play and defence seeing all 4 hands. Adam's line of play forced the Defender to guess which suit to guard (clubs or hearts) and in the example, they got it wrong to give Declarer trick number 12. Hope that helps!
