Cash A ;

a-If all followed small play small to the Q
b-If E followed by 9 or J, play small and insert 7 or 8
c-If W followed with 9 or J, play small to the Q.

Is it best just to cash Ace or should you led small to the Ace?

Thank you

It doesn't matter cashing ace vs. leading toward ace since you aren't finessing first round ever or doing anything different. The important part is hooking deep if RHO drops J or 9. The other plays, it doesn't really matter except of course obvious things like covering the J if LHO plays it 2nd round. It's OK to lead low and duck if LHO plays the 9 second round, because you simply lose to J3/J5 but you win k3/k5 offside in return.

echo most but if E follows with the J continue with the ten a no lose play in case east decided to randomize J9 and does not hurt anything if the J was singleton or KJ
