Contract is 6H.

You win trick 1 and you have a club loser that will never go away. Transportation is not an issue.

Dummy: AK65
Hand: T9742

You are in hand. You play low to the A. LHO playing the 8, RHO drops the Q.

Do you come back to hand and run the T or play for the drop?

This is a simple restricted choice position. So yes you should come back to hand and lead the T planning on letting it ride. This is the %age play.

In isolation this is just your average restricted choice situation, no reason to go against it.

However this might change when we see the rest of the hand, the opening lead, and the cards played by opponents to previous tricks.

The title suggests that dcohio is familiar with restricted choice, so I wonder, why is the question even asked?
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
