Suit openings of 3H or beyond are all pre-emptive.
Aspects opponents should note:
No additional point count requirement for simple 'reverses'. A 'high'
reverse needs more strength and is automatically forcing as is any NEW
suit at the 3-level. If already bid naturally by responder then a repeat is a STOP bid showing 6+
length and weak < 10HCP
1NT rebid 12-16 balanced with a 2C inquiry (requires 9 HCP) all other bids natural weak.
2NT rebid without jump 12-14 i.e after a 2over1 response - if stronger bid any new suit or 3N as appropriate.
2NT rebid with jump is 17-18 balanced
Inverted minors are used even if RHO overcalls, but a Major suit is never hidden
Jump rebid by opener in a new suit is short suit with top controls
1NT overcall is 'unusual': weak or strong with 4+ cards in lowest unbid real suit - available in both 2nd and protective positions.
4NT meaning depends on context - 6 possible meanings!
2 sequences use asking bids for trump support and controls in other suits - always in step responses.
