I think this is what we used to call an "unassuming cue bid" . I was never absolutely sure who had to mot-assume. Here, don't assume that I have a heart stop....but you may wish to show yours with NT. Certainly I am quite strong, contemplating game, so tell me more about your hand.

Although, as i had to told in "Reverses" (topic in General Bridge Discussion) i noted that this "second round" overcalling bid of opp has no or few use and i've thought to use it as previusly indicated, retaining 1) shortness in suit bidded (=3♥), 2) as usual in hand showing force and then, it being compatible, precisely for this particolar meaning and shape : shows an hand, in this case, with 6/+ clubs that is reversing in the suit unbidded (=diamond, shorter it being touching suits) with 0/1/2 cards in heart and spade not supporting because not immediatly raised. In this way you quickly convey information of longness in reversed unbid suit for raise by partner that know longness ,usefull expecially for spade suit unbidded (5th).(see http://www.bridgebas...post__p__859448

Yes, but this one is indicative exclusively for a 6/+ and 5th unbid and reversed. As indicated in precedent post (see) the utility is for fit knowing longness of suit on the line and, if i.e. spade (second suit) is on play, we know so that can raise with three cards.

3♥ is a kind of cuebid - western cuebid or eastern cuebid for opener to ask a exact stopper or semi-stopper in ♥ at least with long solid ♣ ♣ suit in 16+hcp hand, often deny 3-card ♠ support.
