Try to put the declarer on the bottom. Makes things more user friendly.
I'll wait to respond, if I need to at all.

My quick plan is win ♣A and lead the ♥7 towards the K. Then see what happens. I might get to cash a top heart or twos and then cross ruff, or I might set up hearts. It is possible one opponent wins the heart A and fears the cross ruff and breaks trump for us. If RHO wins the heart A and plays a diamond or a club I'll ruff low, and then play low to the spade T, planning to cash the spade Q next, ruff a diamond, and spade AK, and run hearts.

Seems right to play 7♥ at trick 2. Ideally I'd like to ruff a heart before I draw trumps.
Really don't get why we would start spades by playing low to the ten. Exactly how often will west hold exactly Jxxx in spades here?

Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

ace of clubs pitching the diamond.
heart to the king. If it loses to the ace on my right and a club or diamond comes back, I'll ruff low.
--- If the ruff holds, I'll ruff a heart, draw one, ruff back to hand, cash 2 spades, and start playing hearts from the top.
--- If it's a club back and I'm overruffed
--- --- If a spade comes next, I'll put in the Q, ruff back to hand, ruff a heart and continue as before
--- --- If a diamond comes next I'll ruff it and ruff a heart and continue as before.
Basically my plan is to play for hearts no worse than 4-2 (or some specific 5-1s with a well-placed SJ). He can have 2 trump tricks if he has all 5 trumps.
