Abstain, I wouldn't bid 1♥.

Interestingly enough, at both tables the auction was identical to this point (at least the calls were the same, not sure if the inferences or meanings of 1♥ and 1♠ are necessarily identical).

1h perfectly reasonable wasting space with a reverse makes little
sense save it for hands where it is needed. P heard our bidding
and while we indeed have 8 probable tricks we woud need 4 from p
for slam. Surely if p had something like 4 probable tricks they
could have found a bid other than a simple 3n. If p has no spade
stop after this bidding find another p.

pass

I would always bid 1 Heart, even if walsh was a part of my system, I need all the space aI have and I want my jumpshifts to be of full value, not just of full shape.

Now I pass.
Kind Regards

I would bid 1♥ also. :) A jump to 2♥ is not a reverse, it is a jump shift -- or if you prefer, a jump reverse. Either way, for me, a jump to 2♥ would be game forcing whereas, a simple reverse is only forcing, not game forcing. As the 1♥ bidder, bidding again over 3NT is a close decision, with two ways to go. 4♣'s to show really strong clubs, or 4NT to invite six. Of course, pass is (at least in my opinion) a reasonable option over 3NT as well.

1c=1s
2h=?

sets up a different dynamic.

Why do you say that? Responder bids up the line with an invitational or better hand.

Do some Walsh players only do this with game forcing hands?

I don't know why you would bid only 1H here. It seems useful to show a GF hand when you hold one.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
