Plan Before You Play
Think about entries and how you can enter declarers hand to lead low towards the KS and QS. Also think about playing the diamond honor cards in dummys hand first, so you can later run the established small diamonds in declarer's hand. Try not to lead out hearts if possible let the opposition underlead their honor cards instead
