IMPs, none vul

x
QJ10
KJ87x
AQJx

1S - 2D
2H - 2NT
3H - ??

2D was GF, partner could have jumped to 3H immediately to show a good 5-5. What's your call?
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

I guess I can imagine a couple layouts where 3NT is better than 4♥ (AQJxx, xxxxx, Ax, x or something looks unpleasant on trump leads) but I'm no hero, easy 4♥.
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

I think this is closer than the voting so far, receiving the lead in 3NT will be very important.

If we avoid a spade lead in 3NT we are almost home, in 4♥ things can go messy if ruffing spades with QJ10 equals losing trumps.

I'd try 3NT at MPs, in IMPs its very clsoe and I have no idea what I'd do at the table.

why 3NT at MP and not at IMP? I thought the argument was that at MP 4M is better than 3NT if there is at least 1 trick difference and at IMPs 4M scores better only if there is at least 2 tricks difference.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Because missdefences allow you a lot of MPs in 3NT, but there is often a lot less work to do in 4M. Maybe because I am used of weak fields, but scoring 460 when everyone is scoring 420 happens a lot to me. In 3NT people don't wanna score their aces :(

I'll go for 3NT, despite the major fit. 9 tricks in NT are probably easier than 10 in hearts.
