6♦. glp

edit: sorry

[effervesce]

are we in 6♦ or 7♦?? I presume 7♦ since 6♦ can be made on a crossruff... in 7♦ I'd put my chances on the spade hook and then proceed with a crossruff as for 6♦.

No point setting up the clubs by any line with ruffing, as you need the heart ruffs and cant enjoy 4 clubs AND have the heart ruffs (the chance of Qxx dropping and then finding trumps 2-2 is abysmal).

Edit: In 6♦-do you have the diamond 9? If so, cash the AK of clubs, then A of spades, ruff heart, ruff a club, ruff a heart, ruff a club high, heart ruff, ruff a club high, ruff a heart. You still have two top trumps, making 12 tricks.

Without the diamond 9 the play is more tricky: AK of clubs, ruff a club, ruff a heart, lead a club-if east is short play the crossruff as above, using the A of spades as an entry to ruff a heart. If east turns up with 4+ clubs, ruff high, ruff a heart, finesse in spades, cash the ace of spades and then crossruff as before.

I am not very good on high percentages, I woud try to cash ♣AK probably
