Interesting sim results. I would have just left it in 1 NT at matchpoints, worried about +120 vs +110 and opps balancing into hearts.

Sorry if this offends anyone, but running double dummy simulations when 1NT is one of the contracts at play is completelly pointless.

Not completely pointless. But it would be better to have Jack or wbridge5 to play the hand to see what would be most likely result at expert table.

But DD analysis at least gives somewhat direction what would happen at the table. In higher level events actual results are closer to DD analysis than competitions for mere mortals.
