After balancing 1NT, the bids seems like they could use some work. 2 here apparently requires 12-16 total points, which seems like quite a lot to me. And then it just jumps to 3NT even though it has 4 hearts. Isn't 4 a better bid for it? Since I knew I overbid my hand since I showed 12+, then I figured it couldn't make 3NT so I ran away and it happened to work out very well. But, in theory, 3NT could be a hand with only 2 hearts here and should be passed with a real 2 bidding hand so that if it really does have 4+ hearts it really shouldn't bid 3NT here. Also note that the transfer method, in case east doesn't interfere with 2 doesn't work either: http://tinyurl.com/ktdk9wt Notice it leaves it on 3NT even with 4 hearts opposite 5. I don't see how to correctly get to 4 with the way it bids.

Thanks for the reporting.

Will be addressed for review of followons after opener speaks again.

If he doesn't speak currently normal Stayman and transfers are applied.
