After looking up a number of card combinations (motivated by reading a couple of card combo threads on here) in a hand recently played on BBO this 6nt came down to a card combination in diamonds I'd seen before because of this board. Had to play the diamond suit for 4 tricks.

Out of 11 who played in slam (nt diamonds or clubs) 3 made (one with defensive help) - 2 played diamonds 'correctly'.

Wow, suit play lists 16 lines, by far the most I've seen for a suit combination. Changing the spots to T32 opposite AQ654 reduces the options to 7 lines.

Leading the ten looks sexy since it picks up stiff 9 and stiff 8 on our left, but it loses to Jx onside which is a huge loss, not to mention stiff K on our right. Starting with low off dummy seems clear. After that we must put in the queen as we have entry problems if we play the ace.

So a simple low to the queen for me. I'm guessing this is wrong since so many declarers went down.

Bridgehands.com has two approaches for AQxxx opp Txx. Actually, it has 2 lines for 5 tricks, 2 lines for 4 tricks, and 2 lines for 3 tricks.

This is certainly beyond my ability to optimize at the table. I suspect I'd just finesse the K and hope.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Ace and low to Q is the same than low to Q. The T here help pick up Kxx---Jx the 7 is irrelevent.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."
