It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

I do not play short suit game tries so it will be from my understanding.
We are max but our hand just lost nearly half of its value with D KQ facing a likely sg. Our black honors will probably be useful though, but the quality of our trumps and our very inoffensive distribution will probably not compensate the 1st disappointment, from what I guess partner could have, sth like Axx KQxxx x AQxx. We will need some luck to bring 10 tricks home.
How stronger or weaker partner could be will probably decide the quality of the 4H contract. Similarly, I am not sure if 3NT is a realistic option facing 5431 or even more unbal.
If all the above is not too untrue, the reason tells us to decline the offer and bid 3H.

Did we consider a 1NT response on the previous round?

Hi,
you have a max, go.
We are also a passed hand, i.e. 11HCP is the best p can hope for.
you play IMPs, go.
Game trys are to decide coin flips, this is not a coin flip.
Game goes down, so be it.
You could offer 3NT.
With kind regards
Marlowe
