What's your plan? Experts and those who know the hand please hold off answering or hide your answer - thanks.

assuming ♦Q shows the KIng I'd bank it all on ♥K onside. [DI}A, ♣A run ♥9.

Playing for ♠AQ onside and clubs blocked is no better than ♠A onside and ♥K onside because it also needs that no diamond ruff happens.

You should also be aware that:

(1) The lead of the ♦Q does promise the K (or shortness, which is not possible); and
(2) The opening 1♦ bid promised 10 or more HCP.

Well, it was such a bizarre bid I wanted to double check the auction was right before I spent any time on it :)

This is the bit I missed, I'm not thinking of my entries :(
