NS are silent and W ends up playing 6♠. IMPs (team match)

Lead: ♦ 5 (3/5 if it matters to you but this is from a high level event where defenders do not usually lead honest or systematic vs slam contracts)

What is the best percentage play ?

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

My guess is:
Win ♦A, Cash ♥A, Cash ♣A, Ruff a ♣,
If a ♣ honour drops, then draw trumps losing only to a 5-0 break.
Otherwise, Cross to ♠K, Ruff a ♣, Ruff a ♥.
  • If ♣s are good, then you cope with ♠ 4-1.
  • If ♠s are 3-2, then you can afford a ♣ loser.

This is a pretty good line.

I Think I can improve nige's line, when clubs are 5-1 it is better not to cash ♥A, now you got a chance to make when diamonds are 4-3 with on the singelton club and ♦K on south.
