Are there conditions where you play the raise of partner's preempt to be a slam try in that suit (assuming the opponents do not interfere)? If you don't, do you have other tools to look for slam? On the last one for example, how would you look for slam if you had a ♣/♦/♥ void?

Here are a few auctions: slam try or not?

r/r
3♥-(Pass)-5♥-(Pass)
 ?

r/r
(Pass)-2♦-(Pass)-4♦
(Pass)- ?

w/w
3♦-(Pass)-4♦-(Pass)
 ?

r/r
(Pass)-3♣-(Pass)-4♣
(Pass)- ?

w/r
(Pass)-2♦-(Pass)-4♦
(Pass)- ?

r/w
(Pass)-4♠-(Pass)-5♠
(Pass)- ?
♣ Veni, vidi, proficisci ♣

None of these is a slam try for me. After 2x we can start slam tries with artificial 2NT. After 3x it is harder. Have to start with new suit forcing and to improvise later. I think the natural pre-emptive meaning of raising is too valuable to lose.

Only the last one is a slam try IMO. Everything else feels like a RONF call.

It depends again on your agreements, so if you have no forcing raises elsewhere avaiable- maybe besides RCKB, the first and last are forcing to me and show by default good cards outside the trump suit and ask for trump quality.
