[First read Stayman or Not? and Parts II and III]
What about an almost flat hand (4-4-3-2) when the doubleton consists of two honors? Suppose:
| West | NORTH 1 NT | East Pass | South ? | You (South) |
 J 7 4 3 K 5 4 Q J A 9 7 2 |
Should you use Stayman? Or bid 3 NT directly?
For a simulation I created 10,000 random deals with the South hand fixed. North: 15-17 HCP; balanced; 4-5 spades (if 5 spades, doubleton must be J-x or better). Further, East was constrained not to have any appropriate action (bid or double) over 1 NT; and West not to have extreme shape (freakness 6+) with 7+ playing tricks.
Results are shown below. Trick Average shows the average number of tricks won by declarer. Make Percent shows how often the contract is made (including with overtrick) and Overtrick Percent how often an overtrick is made. The second table compares the bids directly, with the better choice leftmost. Net W-L (matchpoints or board-a-match verdict) counts +1 for a win and -1 for a loss. Net Score and Net IMPs are calculated twice, first with declarer nonvul (green) then with declarer vul (red). Plus values show the net gain over 10,000 deals.
I thought this would be close, but results clearly favor the spade fit, and the edge is certainly great enough to overcome any loss from revealing information to the defenders. While one example hand is hardly proof, it appears that 4-3-3-3 shape is the only justification to eschew Stayman.
| Contract | Trick Average | Make Percent | Overtrick Percent |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 NT N | 9.0023 | 68.33 | 34.30 |
| 4 N | 9.9873 | 72.30 | 27.82 |
| Comparison | Net W-L | Net Score | Net IMPs | Net Score | Net IMPs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 N vs. 3 NT N | +3050 | +322640 | +9809 | +461390 | +11175 |
Below are 100 of the 10,000 deals, including the first 20, last 20, and 60 in-between with the greatest IMP gains (30 for each option). Numbers after each contract show the tricks won by declarer with double-dummy play all-around. A plus sign indicates the best result.
