Matchpoints. There are 11 top tricks (3♠ + 2♥ + 5♦ + 1 ♣) once the diamond split is revealed.

it would be really interesting to know what simulations trigger this?
16 hands made 3NT+
4 Opened 1NT with singleton
12 others all avoided the 3♥ call over 2NT bidding 3NT.

I dont know is it the 3♥ bid that triggers this play? its pretty much
the only thing different than those who bid 1NT with a singleton.

It looks like finessing the♠ the other way would be safer or just playing for the J♠ to drop Jx or Jxx or J

Either way is safe as long as you're not silly enough to cash your heart winners first.

I understand that, I just wonder what triggers it do what it does.
from hand records the people who bid 3♥ got punished by GIB N's declarer play
