Scoring: MP

Bidding (playing weak NT):
1♦-1♠
1NT-2♣
2NT-3♣
3♠-4♠
* 2♣: Crowhurst
* 2NT: 15-16HCP
====
LHO start small ♠. What is the best line to play this contract. Take into account it is MP!
And what is your thinking process to get to this.
I just don't know what is best.
- Will you take finesses, finesse ♦ over LHO or RHO, ruff ♣, ...?

Quick suggestion: win in hand and run the diamond jack. Depending on what happens you'll be in good shape to decide what to do next.

Win in hand, 3 roudns of ♦ ruffing high, and ♣ to the ♣K, depending on what comes next and how the ♦ are you can trty to ruff a ♣ in dummy, or discard clubs in ♦ and try ♥ finese.

You don't take a finesse in ♦ and you don't play trumps first?
If ♦ are 4-2 with 4th ♦ with ♣ace then they take ♣ ace and return a ♦ which will be ruffed?

I'm going to win the spade in hand and play a club at the king right away. Let's say the king loses to the ace and they return a trump. I win in dummy and lead a club to the jack.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy - but it might improve my bridge.
