Partner leads the CJ. You overtake with the CQ and continue with the CK. Everyone follows. For trick 3 do you lead the ace or the three as suit preference for diamonds?[/hv]

Neither! Good Grief!

 

Lead Ace of clubs as suit preference in D so declarer does not get a pitch. You have shown D card by playing up the line in clubs and not down the line with AKQ.

would win first trick with King, then play ace, then queen, the lowest of the 3 honors (to avoid loser on loser).

 

How would you all interpret that sequence of plays? (made under an assumed name, of course).

As others said: now is NOT the time for suit preference, the time was about 2 tricks ago. The way you play your tophonours shows suit preference, not which card you play now.

 

Playing the 3 is absolute madness, so you even don't have the possibility to show a suit preference signal at this point with 1 card.
