  1. The best I could see: draw two rounds of trump. If diamonds break, play on hearts for a club discard, then ruff the other club in dummy.
    If diamonds don't break, then draw trump and fall back on the club hook.

    Another question: what are the odds that diamonds break 3-2 given the trump lead?
