5NT pick a slam. Raise 6♥ to 7, pass other choices.

Just a simple 5♠ bid by this little poster - I have diamonds and spades after all...
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I'm torn between 5♠ and 5NT. I'll probably choose 5♠ which is more natural and with a thinking partner will get us to slam when it's on.

6♣ it's dangerous, what will we do over 6♥? How do we win the postmortem when partner says 'I thought you had 4 hearts'?

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

Is 5♠ forcing?

New suit at the 5-level? Come on, there can't a more forcing bid than that :)

whereagles I think your rule doesn't really work, for example

1♦-4♥-p-p
5♣

:)

But a 5-level reverse is definitely forcing

apparent logical alternatives appear to be 5♠, 6♣, 6♥. I eliminated 5♦, 5♥, & 6♦

5S for me as well... Partner is a passed hand, so his hearts cannot be *that* good. I think whatever partner does now, we will be relatively well placed to decide the final contract... Hint: It won't be 7H.
