With 4333 sometimes it is right to not use stayman. U are likely to end up with same number of tricks, thus NT scores better. PLUS oppo have a torrid time getting the lead right. Here they lead a small heart from QJxx. The Q should be played. It occasionally can cost a trick, but far more frequently it can save gifting a trick, as here.
