" Ok maybe it will go around to the person who has the high spade like the ace or king, and they'll keep driving spades and maybe the queen will come out. Maybe not again, let's say the person with the Queen takes it, and they shift to a diamond well. If the queen is short and you got these two diamonds, and the person with queen of spades has no diamonds, then that means that eleven diamonds are situated between the other two hands. That's highly unlikely, possible, but highly unlikely. You would go up and hope that that wins and push another spade, so you have a perfect line of attack. Even if the king loses to the ace, and they say try a club or another diamond you still have two more tries at ripping out the queen. Let's say the person with the queen doesn't have enough guards on him say the diamonds are gone. And your on lead with a jack of diamonds, well that's not such a terrible hand. Um you can either leave the seven of clubs and hope that the four and the five are together in the same hand or you can lead the three. Personally I would lead the seven in the second round. And you should get out of that hand pretty clean. And what are the chance that the person with the queen had four other guards on it. So again, when you are planning your play, first things is to drive the queen safely drive it. Secondly, look at what the other people do, if the person who takes the lead doesn't lead spades, then the chances are they have spade problems. So keep that in mind, drive the queen if you can safely or make leads that get you off the lead if possible."
