Rebate tourney:
After I splinter, North should really either bid 3NT or insist on diamonds. Good thing I had a slam force and guessed the hearts after the opening ruff :).

You had a slam force? Really?

I guess you do when both your finesses are onside (all three if you count spades).

6D doesn't even need close to that, but I find the robots don't like being persuaded off a major. A rough estimate, 70%? And that's with partner being dead minimum and with some wasted values. For what it's worth, someone forced to 7D over a "weaker" action (2C-3D-4NT-5S-7D)
