I don't have a problem with bidding a forcing 1NT, but to only rebid 3NT and not look for slam when I could have easily had a 15-16 point hand is borderline insanity. As is, I had a great 12 HCP hand, and 6NT rolls in.

I think the problem is with the 1NT bid -- it should never include a hand this strong.

I don't know, I think it's OK to play a system with 1nt absolute forcing to include hands like this, if you aren't playing a 2c = bal or clubs + relay system afterwards.

Just the rebid should probably be something like 4nt, natural showing this hand, not 3nt.
