Partner will open any 11. Your move?

IMO 5♦ = 10, Double = 9, 6♦ = 8, 4N = 5, 5♠ = 2, 5N = 1.

Don't know if it will work but double and if pard pulls bid 6♦. If they sit, hope for the best.

In a partnership that doesn't open "any" 11, 6♦ right now.

6D. If partner has a doubleton spade, LOL may be unable to lead them.

6d

The preempt has worked very well making the search for a grand pretty much
impossible (without a ton of partnership agreements) so this looks like the time
to settle for our best probable score and tell me we would not be happy if p
managed to bid 7d with a spade void:)
