Help
I have recently suffered the following bids
1 club by me- 1 heart by opp - 2 hearts by partner
I learned that as a cuebid, forcing and likely support for my suit or simply a stopper ask
The guy had qjt 5th in hearts!!!
Now today I held a singleton heart, 5 spades and a very lonely jack, and the bidding goes
1 heart by partner- 1 spade by rho - pass by me- 2 clubs by lho - 4clubs by partner
i expected him to have a freak hand with a void in clubs, but no he had kqjtx of clubs
i have seen this from several players, but have never seen any book yelling people to bid like this?
coincidence or am i going insane?

Both. Or neither.

Heh. You have stumbled across the experts I used to play with.

Was this BBO or ATB? I have seen many strange things playing on BBO.
