Help
From a club game last night. I was south. West is declarer in 6NT and has taken the first nine tricks. Now he cashes the ♣T, throwing a spade from dummy. This squeezes me despite (1) all threat cards being under me, and (2) the count not being rectified. I thought that was kinda cool.

Even more cool if you pitched the spade queen from:

Indeed, perhaps so. If I could think up such and thing and declarer was fooled, it would make a good story.
In reality though, the devious god of hand-dealt boards saw fit to bless me with ♠AQ tight from the start. So I would be stuck with just hearts no matter when I blank the ♠A.

Strip squeezes act differently to most squeezes. You don't even require any communication for it to work.
