Arik reviewed some practice session and tells you this: It seems to me that many (most?) of players missed some basic ideas of squeeze play. I can understand that, as this is, beyond any doubt, the most difficult part of declarer play. I suggest they follow some essential rules and ideas:
1. Before playing for a squeeze, make sure it is the appropriate technique available.
2. Don't start before you recognize the threat cards. This will guide you towards the correct line of play.
3. Keep communication with both threat cards, especially with those that placed opposite the squeezing suit.
4. Remember the Vienna coup.
5. Watch the opponents' discards carefully.
