they still pay a bonus for playing slam don't they?

6♥, but this is more like a tossup.

This is the kind of problem I always get wrong. I would be very tempted to bid 6 despite the fact that minimum doubles will have problems with diamond losers and even good doubles might go down on DA, D-ruff.

Actually they don't pay a bonus for playing slam, no...

They pay the bonus for making slam.... but yes, it is a tossup and it is 6 Heart.

I think 6♥ is the practical bid. It's just possible 6♦ is a better spot, but putting diamonds into the frame is much more likely to get you to play in diamonds when you should be in hearts.

IMO 6♥ = 10, 6♣ = 8, 5N = 7, 5♥ = 6, _X = 5. Although I'm not sure what 5N and 6♣ should mean, exactly
