East has limited himself to 11 hcp, so it is easy for NS to trap him. The same thing
may happen when East opens 1ª:

On the obvious ¨-lead, NS should take 9 tricks and collect 500. South however makes
game in NT, provided he holds up once or twice when West leads hearts.

North's reverse on a 3-card ª-suit can't cause harm, because South has already denied
4+ in that major. In situations like this, 2ª works like 4th Suit Forcing.

2§ = One of many types of strong hands.
2¨ = Semi-automatic relay. A positive response of 2©, 2ª, 3§ or 3¨ requires KQxxx,
AJTxx or better in the suit, and, 8+ hcp.
2© = 5+ ©-suit, some other 4+ suit, and 20+ hcp. 1RF.
4© = 3+ ©-support, signoff. East would raise to 3© if he has slam interest.
