When the Queen is missing and you need a finesse to play for 4 tricks the basic approach is to finesse on the 2nd round (if possible).
You (AKJ6), dummy (7542). Cash the Ace then cross to dummy and finesse the Jack if RHO follows low.
You (AJ64), dummy (K752). Cross to the King then finesse the Jack if RHO follows low.
You (K76432), dummy(AJ). Lead low to the Jack for a first round finesse.
Avoid a finesse when you only need 3 tricks.
You (AK94), dummy (J752). Cash the Ace then lead up to the J (unless LHO plays the Q) to guarantee 3-tricks with any break.
