MP, complaints about the bidding without any indication on a chosen line will be respectfully ignored. Spades are probably 5-3.

The two reasonable lines seem to be pitch a diamond from your hand and lead a club off dummy, going for pitching 3 diamonds and picking up Kx of hearts onside, vs pitching 2 clubs from your hand, playing ace and a diamond, and hope to survive the ensuing madness (eg, RHO wins and plays a spade, I ruff with the 7, take a club tap in my hand (lead a diamond and ruff with the 9 or jack in dummy).

 

Id probably go for the latter but maybe that's unwise. If it falls apart its gonna be bad lol.

My initial thought but with ruffing a club, then playing a diamond. I usually play such a hand like this or similar for a few tricks, see if I'm still in contention and THEN make a plan.

i take 2 club pitches followed by heart to the Q dia A and a diamond

 

if rho wins and leads another spade ruff low and hope rho began with Kx trumps

and 3 diamonds (or ruffing finesse against Lho in diamonds)*

if lho wins the dia its a lot easier though we will be playing for 33 diamonds we will not

care if rho began with 2 or 3 hearts.

 

*other defenses may allow us to lay down the heart A and take a ruffing finesse against lho

in diamonds if that seems reasonable.
