Win ace, draw trumps, cash club honors, ruff spades and clubs ending in my hand, lead diamond 8. If it's covered, win ace and play low to Q, otherwise RHO wins and is stuck (cover a diamond return and if K appears on left, win with A and T9 are good)

I like it, but with 3-0 trumps it doesn't work.

Win the A ♠, cash the J ♥, if the ♥ are 2-1, cash the AK ♣ (very very low probability of a ruff). ruff a ♠ ruff a ♣ with the 10 ♥ and ruff dummy's last ♠. Take the last trump and play the Q or 8 ♦ from your hand ducking if LHO does not cover. Either RHO is endplayed in ♦ or he will give you a ruff sluff to get rid of your losing ♦.
If ♥ are 3-0 the play is trickier. The same basic play is needed but you are trying to count LHO hand pattern and trying to figure out if he has the K ♦. You will have a good count of the ♠ and ♥ by this time and probably a good count of the ♣ suit, if LHO shows up with the top honors in ♠ and some ♣ honors I would place the ♦ K in RHO's hand and play accordingly.
Good luck,
Theo
