If you have a 7-fit with partner containing AKQTx then you should only finesse with?:
AKxxx - QT
(If Jx would not help you).
Is this complete or are there other combinations where finesse is better?

when vacant spaces make it more likelly, AK10xx opposite Qx should be finesed against a 2 suited overcall for example.

AKQxx - T9 you shd finesse

Also it depends on what your goal is, for example

AKQTxx - x If u need only 5 tricks in this suit, finesse is better, if u need 6 tricks cashing is better. Same goes for AKQTx vs xx if u need 5 cash, if need 4 cash and then finesse.

Thanks for the answer.
Remark: The reason for this post was another one where it was asked how to play trump for a slam in a 4-3 fit.
I knew there were cases where finesse is better, but didn't know them by hard.
This should now be more clear for me and other beginners :)
