Looks like you need a bidding lesson, but maybe you'll get lucky and make a little profit here. What do you lead to make the most of it. (3♣ was natural and forcing.)

Do not underestimate the power of the dark side. Or the ninth trumph.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:
- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

I think either the ♦A or a trump are both reasonable. Interested in other's views.
Good problem.

♥Q looks best to me, seems like the best way to stop entries to dummy.
My initial reaction was a ♣ of course, but any clubs we're getting probably aren't going anywhere.

I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

Club might hit the jackpot in exhausting declarer's trumps, however I'll go with trump which seems to be safer and should collect ok penalty too.

I'm trying DA and another. Unless dummy shows me trump switch vital.
I think DA is most likely to maximize the set. Partner surely has 0-2xD.
If 0-1, his little hearts (2xH-ruffs if CA C-out after 1st H-ruff) ruff DKQ.

Partner doesn't have many hearts, and he doesn't have much diamonds, at most 3 red cards I'd say. This leaves partner with likelly 4 spades and dummy with 1-3 in the majors.
It could be vital to lead dummy's weak minor in order to shorten declarer, however the wrong minor might be fatal.
♥Q at least removes an entry to hand from declarer and a trump from dummy, it will probably not be best but it is ok enough.
