I would always bid 2♥ here. Not saying it is impossible to go for a number, but I don't think it is at all close. Both sides have around half the deck, and we have some shape, I would much rather play in my 6 card suit than defend 1NT.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

2♥ is a no-brainer.
There's a 20-20 hcp split and pard didn't rebid his diamonds, meaning he should have at the very most 5 of them. Nor did he bid clubs, so he has at most 4 of thos. Thus, the odds of opener having 2 or 3 hearts are very good and you should go for it. On a bad day opener has a scattered 13 hcp with 3154 shape, but on all other days you have a play for 2♥.

Yep 2H because I believe you have a significant chance of making it. It's possible that they're down 2 if partner has Hx of hearts and they're 3-2 and he leads it, but even then they might have at least 6 tricks.
If 2H is down maybe they can make 120...if our hearts aren't running we don't have much defense at all.

I had the same hand, same auction. I thought 2H was auto, and bid appropriately.
