I keep the queen for possible overruff of the third round of diamonds. Waste not, want not.

I play the queen. I think that it is fairly likely that partner has lead from Kxx of clubs. Partner will win the first or second round of diamonds and get rid of dummy's trumps.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

i'd play the queen cause i think that's the best play the majority of the time

Queen, but I'm not so happy with the play.
