Would QJxx Qx K KJ98xx be an opening bid?


Absolutely.

So what did opener have, after all?

there is no way I am playing less than 6♣ after diamond short in front.


Absolutely agree.

I'm bidding six. A couple of reasons:

1) If we play a mandatory cue-bidding style, I think I would have been informed.

2) I denied a standard set-clubs-and hear-a-cue-bid type of hand when I forgot to bid 4♣ on the previous round, so partner may believe I went down this route because I had a marginal try.

It rates to be decent or cold, and the chances that partner did not feel obliged to cue after we bid 3♥ are high.

6C. If my partner is random this is correct because he has to have the anti-perfecto not to make I think. If my partner is good, then this may be the wrong bid but it's a close one (and if good I would probably have more information about their tendencies but we were not provided anything).
