I play this as a puppet to 2NT so that I can make a short suit trial.
There is no logic whatsoever in playing this as a reverse, regardless of what methods you play.

Playing undiscussed, this would be a helper suit trial.
Generally I'd vote for long suit trial, but I am playing some relay bids after this auction.

Help suit trial or control with a very exotic hand, as simple as that. If it's help suit trial, my partner bids the level we play, if it's control I'll bid furter on...

Not even close playing standard methods... it's a game try (or could be more if responder bids 3H and opener bids again).

Until opener makes some 3d bid this is a try for game showing maximal opening values and looking for helpful cards... It is NOT a reverse unless opener bids again.
