You need all the tricks in this suit. Without any indications from the bidding, how do you play it?

The finesse wins against Q-x-x on your right. Cashing the ace-king wins when West holds the singleton or doubleton queen.

All other combinations don't matter, since the finesse or play for the drop reach the same result.

The odds favor the finesse, but only slightly. If West has indicated strength in the bidding, it's probably wiser to play for the drop.

 
To finesse! That
is the answer.
