At this point I went HAK (they're 3-2), diamond ruff, cross to the spade, diamond ruff, and then tried to pitch my 4th diamond on the 4th spade. RHO ruffed in on the third round of spades and cashed a diamond, leaving me -1.

This requires the hand with 3 hearts to have at least 3 spades.

It's cold if I play the spades after drawing two rounds of trump. I established the spade for the pitch, but I lost control of the diamond suit. If I just play spades first, then even if somebody ruffs in on the third spade, they're unable to cash a diamond, and I get my pitch.

Oops. That was stupid.
