If I balance with some number of clubs, I might find 3N, but it probably isn't there, so I am fine with my 50's.
There is a great risk however they have a massive heart fit that they haven't discovered.

If Pard has a lot of hearts, we want to pass.

I might reluctantly pass but x or 2♠ or 3♣ would cross my mind instead.

Can I punish S:Q10xxxx at best? Nope, not in 1S.
Where are the 13 hearts? No LHO Michaels. No NegX from partner.
RHO has 6xH.
Do I fear 4H makes? Not much. Got AK+AK.
Do I fear 3NT is on for us? You betcha. 6xC +2xS +partner's H-stop.
I'm bidding 3NT.
Can partner reason that if 4H were possible I'd double? Yup.

3NT can easily get ugly though, if the run hearts, my discards can quickly become quite bothersome.
Alone red at IMP's, I'll be most inclined towards 3NT.
Alone white at MP's, I'll be most inclined towards pass.
Do not underestimate the power of the dark side. Or the ninth trumph.

Due to bidding i expect my ♣ to run, which brings me to 8 sure tricks. All pd needs to is to stop ♥ suit and i have a decent shot in 3NT. Or if he doesnt stop ♥ suit, i need a friendly ♠ or ♦ lead.

That's why my mom said i should learn some conventions (to know how to open that 6-5 hand with 2 losers ). In which case i don't need "spectacular" openings like 1♣ to get the opportunity to show my 5 ♠ holding at the 4 level (watching my void i could easily guess that opps are entitled to mention some hearts at high level).
I never understood what is the advantage of that 1♣ opening.
At least if i open 1♠ their psychic will not work.
An expert bridge woman opened against me a hand like that.
1c-3h(i bid)-p-5h(my partner) and she had to guess whether to invent the ♠ at the 5 level, whether to t/o X but how in the heaven will ever find the 5-3 ♠ fit now!? Or a slam))) She doubled and got +100.

In expert panel most of the votes went for the pass and runner up choice was 5 ♣. 3 Nt will go down because lead is A or K of ♥ which clarifies the situation for the defence.
What happens in real life was that both teams bid up to 6♣ which made cause dummy had void in ♠ and RHO had void in ♣

Edit: 3♠)))
