6♥. Switch the the majors and make it favorable and I still wouldn't try 5NT specific kings since we have a heart loser 12/27 of the time (complement of {the 9 cases where partner has the K, plus 3 cases where partner has QJ, Q with J with LHO, J with Q with LHO where RHO has the K, plus the same 3 cases with LHO and RHO switched}).

Of course RHO is going to ruff the opening spade lead and LHO will have the missing trumps.

I don't like opening 6 of a suit since very often they'll just bid 6 over 6 and fix you. I'll agree with 777 on this one. This should be fun.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

1♥.

I don't have a bus to catch.

Perhaps partner has enough to bid 2/1 and we might be able to bid 7♥ and know what we are doing. If not we can bid 6♥ later. I am not worried that going slowly will allow the opponents to find a successful 7 level save.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

a bit ambiguous-are you opening 1♥ or laughing at 1♥?

If we have a specific A and K ask (we play 3NT as spec ace and then kings) then I'll open that, otherwise 6♥. The problem with opening 1♥ is the rebid problem. What will you rebid if partner bids 1♠, 1NT, 2♣, 2♦?
