To get to 12 I have to have the heart hook or pick up trumps w/o a loser. So, win in dummy and play a heart to the queen. If this wins, then try the diamond ace. With a 2-1 trump split, I am home free with six diamonds, one club, two hearts, two spades and a heart ruff. With 3-0 diamonds, I would play the same way, and hope the four hearts lie with the three diamonds or the KJ of hearts falls in three rounds..Should the heart hook lose, I will need some luck. Assume a neutral spade back. Now play heart ace and ruff a heart. Hook the diamond (the percentage play). With a 2-1 I'm home. Otherwise, I have to hope RHO has the long heart.

well i'm not even close to being an expert, which explains my line
win the ♣A, finesse in trumps... assuming it loses, ruff the club return, draw the last trump, lead the ♠A and lead your ♦2 to the board's ♦5 toss 2 hearts on the spades and hook the ♥Q

Trumps are 2-1, K guarded on LHO's hand.
Luke's line is what I took. Practical DOES work still. :-)

I think it is best to take the H hook first. Playing on D first looses if D are 3-0.
