Play problem

You reach 6C with no opposing bidding at IMPs.

LHO leads the queen of diamonds, and dummy tables

nice line.

Since they started it for me, I'll attempt to finish the dummy reversal.

1. Ruff, club to Q. If clubs are 4-0, I'll reconsider. I'd probably ruff a diamond high, HK(playing low from hand), HA, and hope to score 1S 6C 5H or 2S 6C 4H somehow.

2. If clubs aren't 4-0, continue by ruffing diamond high and club to J. If clubs are 2-2, I already have 1S 7C and can guarantee 4 heart tricks by playing to SA and leading low to the H8. (If you need to make 7, you can bang HK and make 7 most of the time and only go down if righty has a heart void and you can't guess the position for an extra trick. But the overtrick might not even be an IMP if the other table is in game or 6H, and the H8 will hold 25% of the time anyway.)

3. If clubs are 3-1, continue by ruffing diamond and low heart to K to draw the last trump. I have 1S 7C and at least 4H unless righty is void in hearts.

I hope I didn't mess up any details. Let me know if I did.

doesn't seem like it to me, well done.
