I duck, playing for Ax or Axx (or Kx/Kxx) on the right. If the ace appears on the second round, I play hearts from the top.
If RHO turns out to have three diamonds, I try to duck a heart to the East hand. I can't afford to cash three rounds of spades, as I need all three black-suit entries to cater for Q10x-9x in hearts.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

shades of Frances Hinden, altho I don't think I disagree that often with the Gnashville native

What is that stinky ♦9? ♦KQ95? Really? Potentially blocking the suit? ♦KQT9? Making it tough for partner (who has already then played a strange ♦6 from ♦A65 - where I would expect the 5)?
If we put up the jack and lose to ♦A6 it will often not be critical. Same if east has ♦AT6.

I though the same as gnasher, but it was very wrong, LHO had ♦AKQ109 ♥Q10x
