running queen or 10 is IMO bad, best is to take ace and play another at this point, you don't wanna face a diamond through and a possible overruff.
Ok. Thanks. (This is if LHO has
♠KJ?)

Its better to play ♠10 than ♠Q even if you intend to run it, if you play ♠Q you risk going down if RHO has something like ♠K ♥Qxxx ♦Kxx ♣A10xxx where a club will uppercut ♠8.
If you run the
♠Q then RHO will cover with his singleton
♠K and you play the
♠A.
You play another
♠ to
♠T loosing to LHO
♠J. LHO now has to play
♦ to give you difficulty.
Isn't that the same as running
♠T and RHO having
♠J
♥Qxxx
♦Kxx
♣A10xxx ?
If you play
♠A and another
♠ and LHO has K8x then you have the same issue? LHO takes the K and returns a
♦ and you have to guess how to come back to your hand?
