You're missing only four cards to the jack and ten. If
the suit is 2-2 or 3-1, it doesn't matter how you play
it - just cash your three honors. If the suit is 4-0, and
West has four of them, you can't do anything about it,
and you must lose a trick. But if East has four to the
jack-ten, you can take five tricks by leading first to
the queen in dummy. You'll see West show out. Then
you'll know to take a double finesse through the jack
and ten. If East splits, you go back to dummy for a
second finesse.
