If opps are strong we can infer that the lack of double on 1♥ suggest he won't lead the suit and 3NT is a big favourite.

Against weak opps, from my experience from transfer walsh, they tend to apss the transfer with the suit (often without even asking what the alert was), and I wouldn't like 3NT as much now (but may still bid it)

Thanks for the answers. This was the full hand (not sure if North was 3-3 or 4-2 in the reds):
Scoring: MP

1♣-(DBL)-1♥!=xfr♠-(pass)
3♣-All Pass
 
Maybe if I bid 3NT then it makes (West need to lead my suit; or they need to develop a ♥ for North: opps are not expert, so this is possible!), ...maybe not.

I really don't like 3♣ on that. Compare it to some example hands given here.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

What do you bid iso 3♣?
(I'm in fact surprised that my partner - who often opens an off-shape 1NT - didn't open 1NT with his hand. Probably he thought that his hand was too goood)

I'm surprised that 2♣ would be rebid with this hand.
It is MP's: my partner did consider 1NT iso 3♣.

unless you open 1NT you have commited yourself to rebid 3♣ IMO.

Not surprisingly
Kx, QJx,Kx,AQJxxx
is much stronger then the actual hand, so I would downgrade to 2 club too.

I don't mind 3C.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

I do like 3D. Often gets 4C-> quits, but just maybe H-stop finds 3N.
