MP's

LHO leads T and when you ask it shows 0 or 2 higher cards.
He has either: Tx or AJT(xx)
A diamond lead was very likely after this bidding. What do you play LHO for?

Hehe, cute. What does my table feel tell me? Did he like his lead?

In a vacuum, looks like RHO has 13 open spaces and LHO has 12, so more likely that RHO has 4 cards to LHO's 1 than vice versa.

edit: this is what I get for misreading the problem so early in the morning. The above is nonsense. I'll think more about it.

IMO, you should win K. If you've misguessed, you may go one down.
But were LHO dealt AJTx and had you had risen with Q, then you could go two down.

West had AJTx
In fact North had Q753, that lowers the chance for 2 down when playing Q.
I played the Queen from dummy and did go -1.
Seems like a guess, but maybe it is slightly better to let it run to the K. Because West could have started with Tx
