Auction starting with RHO:

1D 1H P 1S
2C X 2D 2H
P 3H AP

You probably should have just bid 2S on your third round but you fell in love with your good hearts.

A diamond is led, low 9 J. You went from thinking you made a great stop to a bad one, but now you play the HA and RHO pitches a diamond. How do you proceed/what is your general plan?

Knock out the ♦A, spade to dummy, club hook, knock out ♠A, and run side-suit winners until LHO ruffs.

Cheat sheet provided within, for those who are stumped:
Spoiler

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.

My initial thought was the same as Quiddity's. I'm not sure I've ever found a book or source that helped me form a plan of attack for hands like this, which is probably why I struggle with them so much.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.
