"definitely that's what I like to play when I'm playing standard - I want to be able to bid diamonds because bidding good suits is important in bridge" - Meckstroth's opinion on weak 2 diamond

I agree with nige. West's overcall makes them a huge favourite to hold the Ac, so the main advantage is picking it up if it's singleton.

W probably wouldn't bid 2H with a suit headed by QJ with only the DK and 1 or 2 black jacks so probably has the CA.
Can he have AJx?
We can suspect H are 6-2 because of no preempt (but with all the missing honours he would not preempt in 2nd seat though). So unless D are very irregularly distributed or E has a violent SD 2-suiter, W shouldn't have 3C.
Running the maths is too complicated for me but although not unlikely, I still think W will not have AJx so I would lead small towards the Q.
Did I just go down?

Imo, West holding CAJx is more likely than West holding CA & SJ considering he is having atleast 11 pts.

IMO you should lead low to dummy's ♣Q.
