I decided to duck the club for lack of anything better to do. The only way to my hand is via the SA, so I just decided to let LHO hold the lead. Thoughts?

I was planning to hook RHO for the spade, but LHO shifted to a spade at trick 2. The queen appears on your right, so you win the ace.

At this point I just hooked the club, winning, played CA, shaking the diamond, ruffing the diamond to hand, and leading a heart up. RHO actually shows up with the HA and leads a heart back, so I win HK and play a third heart. RHO shows out, but now I ruff my 4th round heart with the SK and hook against the spade ten.

It feels like there should be a better line, like playing a diamond up to set up the DK for a heart pitch. Then you could lose a club, a diamond, and a heart, but get 2 heart discards. But this also requires guessing diamonds properly, and it's awkward to try to reach our hand.
