♦J was led. I took it with my Queen, entered dummy with the ♥A, played the ♠Q, K, A, small. Heart ruff and spade Jack, small, small, heart. Hmpf. Small diamond, ruffed, overruffed. High trump, small club from West, diamond from the table. Now what? Would you have done anything differently so far?

I messed this one up... How would you have done?

I would have mentioned that it was RHO, not LHO that showed out on the 2nd round trump, assuming LHO actually overruffed the diamond.

By the way, the play is much easier to follow if its displayed like this:

1. ♦J, x, x, Q
2. ♥x, x, A, x
3. ♠Q, K, A, x
4. ♥x, x, ♠6, x
5. ♠J, x, x, ♥x
6. ♦x, x, ♠5, (overruff??)

RHO ruffed in on the second diamond; declarer overruffed and then played a high trump to the next trick.

Yes my bad. Couldn't imagine RHO ruffing a loser here.
