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.
