Your partner and LHO are playing money bridge for 50c per 100. No pressure :)

edit for whereagles: no bots involved here, 4 real players, only N and W playing for money though.

If that's a robot across I guess I'd just bid 5♦. But then again, I'm not used to play robots.

5NT: let partner choose a slam. If he bids 6♦ I'll be tempted to bid 7. I suppose partner should have all the HCP's outside clubs but I don't want to risk it in the other suits.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

with a good partner I'd bid 7♣ pick a grand, but since this guy might just be bidding hearts because he has a lot of them and nothing else lets bid just 6♥.

If partner knows what 5NT means then I'd use it.

manudude03 asks "Your partner and LHO are playing money bridge for 50c per 100. No pressure :) for whereagles: no bots involved here, 4 real players, only N and W playing for money though."

IMO
6♦ = 10, 5N = 9, 6♣ = 8, 6♥ = 7, 7♦ = 6, 7♥ = 5.
A danger in 6♥ is that defenders lead ♣s and partner's ♥ aren't solid. For example
♠ Kxx ♥ QJxxxx ♦ KJ ♣ Kx

We can easily have 6♦, 6♥ or 6♠. I'm not going to decide which is best without knowing partner's hand, I'll just show my hand with 5NT and let partner decide with more information. We might miss grand, but we may as well stay out of a poor grand. There's simply not enough space to investigate, but if partner bids 6♦ I'll give him grand. Otherwise I'll pass.

With a strong and experienced tournament player 5NT followed by 7♦. With anybody else a direct 7♦.
Partner has bid red versus white with no ace outside clubs.
How likely is it that he does not have the red kings with the little extra needed to make the grand and if that's the case that a required finesse will loose?
I can not afford to throw 750 points away for such an unlikely occurrence.
5NT followed by 7♦ would tell an expert that my ♦ are not solid and I can stand a correction to 7♥ should he be short in ♦. For any grand to have a chance partner will have to assume that I hold the ♥ace, in fact all the aces outside of ♣.
