K♠ then finesse rho.
Looks like rho has stiff ♦ and thus more likely more spades, while i'd like to keep lho off lead it is rather immaterial as rho can always put him back on lead with a heart.
Edit: dyslexia strikes again, had my lho and rho switched

RHO discouraged, so LHO probably has AK. Plus, it seems like LHO is trying,to find RHO's shortness. I thus think you have this backwards.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

This does not seem to be the hand to try for a trump guess. The risk appears
to be reasonably large of a ruff no matter which opp we finesse and we
are wrong. Our contract is ice cold anytime trumps break 32 and there is
a pretty fair chance the Q will drop doubleton if we play AK off the top.
IMO playing the AK of trumps is the "safe" way of trying for a top.
We still have play if trumps are 4/1 (though our odds diminish appreciably)

most people in spain would return 1st/3rd/5th, so I though ♦2 would hardly be 4 cards, and a heart now was kind of safe at first.
LHO won the heart and returned a club to RHO's queen, I though at this point LHO was most likelly 4414 and played for it, not even close, LHO was 2335 without spade queen.
